I can confirm this

from my rejectlog:
2003-10-11 03:33:31 H=pcp02665442pcs.longhl01.md.comcast.net [68.49.23.108]
sender verify fail for <ebae@???>: response to "RCPT
TO:<ebae@???>" from mx1.mail.yahoo.com [64.156.215.6] was: 553 VS10-RT
Possible forgery or deactivated due to abuse (#5.1.1)
2003-10-11 03:33:31 H=pcp02665442pcs.longhl01.md.comcast.net [68.49.23.108]
F=<ebae@???> rejected RCPT <m.mackensen@???>: Sender verify failed

But now it seems that callouts are very ineffective (for yahoo.com).

Maybe I should deny all yahoo.com mails...it's 99.99% (maybe more) SPAM.

Or is there a better solution?
