We learned about that Yahoo Groups habit very quickly when we first turned
up greylisting. They seem to have changed--they have been retrying
successfully for a couple of years when a new host (or subnet, usually) of
theirs starts running into greylisting.
But that doesn't mean that no server is brain dead, only that Yahoo Groups
no longer seems to be.
