We have more than 37,000 subscribers at yahoo.com. If they
want to give me the opportunity to pre-emptively whitelist
our site, I'm not going to say no. I only wish AOL were so
solicitous.
(I have not received this note allegedly from Yahoo! staff.)
Maybe I'm being naive, but I don't understand why this note
is supposed to be so absurd. Some of it is really poorly worded
(the bit about domains that appear in outgoing "From" headers,
for example), but most of the letter sounds reasonable and sensible
to me.
