Mail.yimg.com
has six IP numbers. All of them are on the same IP network. This
hostname cnames to geoycs-l.gy1.b.yahoodns.net.
e.yimg.com, l.yimg.com, us.yimg.com, ep.yimg.com, xa.yimg.com and at least 16 other hosts point to the
same IP. yimg.com
is a domain controlled by five nameservers at yahoo.com. All of
them are on different IP networks. yimg.com has two IP
numbers. They are on different IP networks. mail.yimg.com is
hosted on six servers in United States. It is blacklisted
in one list.
When I surfed to it, it came up with a blank page. Apparently it is black listed. I hope this helps you understand. It apparently is a mail server for yimg.com. Whoever yimg.com is.
At least I now know something ... what is the next step? If this page - setting is block how do I/we get into our emails - now the other interesting thing is I can get my emails via my iPhone 3G ... go figure .... I've sent two emails to Yahoo but still no responce other than the auto reply .... I guess it's true whi ever has the ***** rules ... Thanks for your help - Paul Van ****, Sydney Australia
SOURCE: Can not access yahoo mail - redirecting to
I had this very same problem with a computer: Safari wouldn't
load yahoo and stalled when trying to pull info from l.yimg.com. So I
installed Firefox. And it worked...for about 3 weeks. Then it quit. Same
thing. So I installed Google Chrome. No access. Three (3) browsers, same machine, no
access with the "connecting to l.yimg.com" flag in the corner.
As I was surfing for answers, I found one post that mentioned SonicWall
2040 as the culprit. We're running a SonicWall TZ210w at this site with
the Comprehensive Gateway Security settings in place--including
AntiSpyware. When I turned off the AntiSpyware piece, all of the
browsers blew right through and brought up yahoo with no problem.
My final solution was to set the two IP addresses I found associated
with l.yimg.com as allowed and I turned on the AntiSpyware function
again.
If you use it, I would remove Sonicwall from the configuration temporarily and see if its a sonicwall issue.
I'm not sure as I didn't spend a lot of time on
this, but my suspicions are that something being delivered by Yahoo from
those servers is seen as spyware. If you're having problems getting access to
Yahoo AND you're running some type of spyware tool, turn it off or
disable it.
I also have a report that a small cookie may be the problem.
Tanto70010, if you look cryptodan up in the
dictionary, it says cryptodan (noun): A very smart cookie that can be
found on the bleeping computer irc channel.
