Yahoo! MTA Connectivity Problems - Return

Yahoo! posted a notice this morning that the MTA connectivity problems have returned. Here's the latest missive from Yahoo!

_____

At around 6am PST, we again started experiencing low connectivity on our MXes, and we have since been working incessantly to improve the situation. As before, the SMTP error message being generated by the issue will generally be the following:

"420 Resources unavailable temporarily. Please try later <insert Y! MTA
hostname"

However, some senders may see our other "421" SMTP error messages as well, as listed here:

Ensuring that email is delivered in a timely manner is of the utmost importance and priority for us, so we appreciate your patience while we work on the issue.

Any word when this will be resolved?

Does Yahoo claim this problem is resolved now? Or do high numbers of 420s, etc, continue for everyone else?
