Comment (by johnmoody):

 Not being able to connect to the Yahoo address book (to fetch aliases)
 won't cause a disconnect to the Yahoo service.  I have had some users that
 have managed to 'sneak' out through fussy proxy servers by changing the
 Yahoo setup from port 5050 to port 23 (Yahoo also listens on port 23 for
 just this reason).  Can't guarantee it will fix the problem, by may be
 worth a try.  FYI, the connection attempts to the Yahoo address book will
 remain on port 80.
