And I believe that evidence is fundamentally broken.

I truly believe that message describing reasons of such e-mail
rejection is far better than discarding messages sent to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
silently.
(and if rfc-ignorant would have wider recognition around the world,
such listings would lead simply to worldwide conversion of abuse@ into
blackholes)

Yahoo do have abuse account. And that specific message was refused
after DATA, not after RCPT TO.  Mailbox was recognized, any other message,
not falling into malware category, would be accepted.

Referenced RFC2142 does not state that one _must_ accept _any_ mail
sent to such addresses.
