Do you use Yahoo email? If so, I can't email you.

For the past week I haven't been able to send email to people using Yahoo.com as their email provider. Yahoo has blocked a huge number of IP addresses from emailing their servers in an effort to prevent spam. As a result, thousands of people are no longer able to send email to Yahoo.com email users. My domain host is one of the servers that has been blocked and there is no way for me to work around it. I'm having my domain host try to get their IP address removed from Yahoo's "blacklist" but until then, I am unable to do anything about it and my server has apparently been trying to get this issue fixed with little help from Yahoo. I have also directly contacted Yahoo and their response basically amounts to "Be patient and the problem might go away."

So if you use Yahoo.com for email, please know that Yahoo's practices may be preventing you from receiving email, even from people you have written to. If you're a Yahoo.com email user and want to get in touch with me, please provide me with a phone number or a non-Yahoo email address so I am able to respond. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
