When you use the Content Advisor (probably RSACi), you are relying on a 3rd
Party list of approved sites.  Yahoo must be on that list.  You can override
allowed sites by explicity disallowing them, which is what you've done with
Yahoo.

Speaking of curious Yahoo behavior, there's one thing that has me
puzzled as well. We use IE 5.5's Content Advisor to limit our
OPACs to our local website, PAC, subscription databases and
amazon.com (for the links from our OPAC). For some reason it will
allow access to Yahoo unless you specifically DENY access to it
with the Content Advisor. Not a problem to do, but I'm wondering
why this happens. Any ideas?
