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.
