Comment(by kharris):

 Not sure if this will help or not, but it might give some insight.
 I used telnet scs.msg.yahoo.com 5050
 Trying 66.163.181.181...
 telnet: connect to address 66.163.181.181: Connection refused
 Trying 66.163.181.181...
 telnet: connect to address 66.163.181.181: Connection refused
 Trying 66.163.181.181...
 telnet: connect to address 66.163.181.181: Connection refused
 Trying 66.163.181.181...
 telnet: connect to address 66.163.181.181: Connection refused
 Trying 66.163.181.182...
 Connected to scs.msg.yahoo.com.
 Escape character is '^]'.
 ^]
 telnet> quit
 Connection closed.

 As you can see, eventually it connects (and so does Pidgin).  Perhaps an
 extended timeout or faster retry?
