At one of our ISP customer's sites with about 7,600 users, their border MX
server rejects something over 1,150,000 connections a day with postfix
ruless and DNSRBLs.  It uses amavisd-new and clamav to eliminate worms and
phishing attemts, forwarding about 260,000 messages to a cluster of servers
running spamassassin and delivering the mail to user's Maildir mailboxes.

Of the message that get through to the cluster, about 75% of these are
scored as spam by spamassassin.

The incoming volume has increased something like 30% in the last six
months.

On the other side of the problem, we have a customer who runs a fantasy
football site and mailing list with lots of confirmed yahoo e-mail
addresses that just started having serious problems delivering to yahoo.
So far we haven't been able to get any response from yahoo to try to get
this resolved.

Does Yahoo have anything similar to AOL's SCOMP?
