At 8:07 PM -0500 2/5/04, Stefan Jeglinski imposed structure on a stream of electrons, yielding:I just noticed this log entry, which has been around only since Feb 2 at 4:21AM EST; it never appeared before then, and it seems to come bursts that last from 1 to 3 hours, but always with a different SMTP number so I know it's not a repeated attempt to deliver the same e-mail:
22:01:21 1 SMTP-391(yahoo.com) 'From' rejected, got 421 VS5-MF Excessive unknown recipients - possible Open Relay http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/spam/spam-18.html (#4.4.5)\r
It would appear that yahoo thinks I'm sending spam?
Yes, but more specifically that you are sending to too many undeliverable addresses.
This would be something like SIMS' anti-harvesting 'TempBan' feature, except that i don't think there's a timeout on the Yahoo ban. If your IP address has tried to send to too many bogus Yahoo addresses, it will get banned.
If you are not aware of sending to bogus yahoo addresses, you may want to make sure you have no Windows users. Some of the worms uise their provider's mail server and can target bogus addresses.

Or someone sent bunch of spam to Yahoo with his name as sender.
