Is Yahoo mail currently down, or have I just been firewalled? Since I’m asking, does anyone have a link to that website that allows you to end-around a firewall?

Nope - everything is fine just looped an e-mail through with no problem  
_(did come out smoking after passing though the firewalls though 🙂 )_

Thanks, all. Turns out the system here was burping a little bit. Sorry for the trouble.
