Yahoo recently announced the addition of two new domains, ymail.com and rocketmail.com, in order to open up addresses for users that had previously been unavailable. Today on their blog they announced that they are encouraging people to move to the new accounts and delete the old ones at yahoo.com so that they are available again. They even offer a service to automate this process. The service is set up to notify people in users address books, but if you don't think that you've been successfully added to enough subscribers address books, it may not hurt to send a notification to yahoo subscribers to remind them to update their address to continue receiving your emails. If your list contains a large percentage of yahoo.com addresses this could mean an increase in complaints at that domain as people move around and new people adopt abandoned addresses.
