I do not have any client side spam blocking in effect, which means that 
either messages with out viruses get through to me, or are rejected with 
a 5xx code.

I can not control what QSL.NET is currently using for spam control.  The 
rejection message from QSL.NET should be indicating the reason for 
rejection.

As far as I know, qsl.net is not blocking based on e-mail addresses, 
only I.P. addresses or what is detected by the content scanner.

If the rejection message just says "SPAM+SPAM+SPAM" in it, that 
indicates that the content scanner is mis-interpreting the message as 
spam.  In which case, I have to send a notice to the postmaster to give 
it another tweak.

Otherwise, it should be indicating that the I.P. address of that yahoo 
mail server was attempting to make the delivery, and where to lookup why 
e-mail is being rejected from it.

QSL.NET also incorrectly rejects e-mail with a 5xx mail code if it can 
not forward them to my other e-mail box below due to temporary issues. 
It should be using 4xx codes instead.

malmberg(at)encompasserve.org has a less aggressive spam blocker.

Please also send the rejection text to that so I can see what is going on.
