LCS/OCS Public IM Connectivity (PIC) with Yahoo! Domains YMail.com and Rocketmail.com
Yahoo! has added two additional domains (ymail.com and rocketmail.com) that users can choose from when creating a Yahoo! ID.
In order for instant messaging and presence to work correctly with Yahoo! user accounts created in those domains you will need to add entries on the Allow tab of your Live Communications Server 2005 SP1 Access Proxy or Office Communications Server 2007/R2 Access Edge.
The entries would be entered as Domain ymail.com and Access Edge lcsap.msg.yahoo.com and Domain rocketmail.com and Access Edge lcsap.msg.yahoo.com.
A restart of the Access Proxy or Access Edge Service may be required.

The availability of these new domains is a bonus, Yahoo is only under contract to provide services to Yahoo.com per this article - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897567 That being said, the behavior should work and you can open a support ticket to investigate.

I'm running a LCS 2005 SP1 Standard environment. We have the PIC license for Yahoo, so if I add ymail.com to the allowed list LCS won't start because lcsap.msg.yahoo.com is already in use as a provider. Shouldn't Yahoo be updating the PIC to automatically route ymail.com and rocketmail.com IM?Anonymous
