Hi all, I'm aware of the various pages that Wikipedia dedicate to Yahoo! and related services. I'm unsure how to treat YAHOONET as an ISP. The abuse contact they registered at RIPE in 2007 is abuse@yahoo-inc.com. It bounces. I wrote to network-abuse@cc.yahoo-inc.com asking what address should I use for complaints. I got an automated reply telling me to go to: https://io.help.yahoo.com/contact/index?page=contact&locale=en_US&y=PROD_MAIL_ML That link ultimately redirects to the same host/path with the query string replaced by "page=oops". I had tried to contact someone at Yahoo! before. I don't think it's worth trying again. So I think I'm going to put YAHOONET in the heavily firewalled list of ISPs with no abuse team. I hesitated because I used to consider Yahoo! something big, with possibly many worthy customers. Is it still so? I mean, would any savvy netizen face the Internet through such an ISP? Best Ale --
As someone pointed out off-list, there's plenty of @yahoo.com email addresses. However, IP addresses for mail seem to use ARIN networks, such as: A-YAHOO-US2 66.163.160.0-66.163.191.255, A-YAHOO-US3 209.191.64.0-209.191.127.255, ... A-YAHOO-US8 67.195.0.0-67.195.255.255, A-YAHOO-US9 98.136.0.0-98.139.255.255, ... RIPE's YAHOONET, 77.238.177.0-77.238.177.255, seems to be an abandoned object.

it depends where in the world you are.... try https://postmaster.verizonmedia.com/ which has links to (a) a complete list of relevant IPs and (b) a working link to an abuse reporting form.
RIPE's YAHOONET, 77.238.177.0-77.238.177.255, seems to be an abandoned object.
it's maintained by YAHOO-MNT so hardly "abandoned" Also you will note that the email address in NA4112-RIPE is now updated -- richard writing to inform and not as company policy "Assembly of Japanese bicycle require great peace of mind" quoted in ZAMM
