It's not a 'new server', scs.msg.yahoo.com resolves to a lot of hosts, 
one of which is cs13.msg.dcn.yahoo.com.

I'm not sure how Yahoo's authentication works, but 
i^l%5+(3%n|a^v|r%j-1-m+q^u+d+q/w%4/v/r&o^n%(5/t|u|w&p)-l%5+(a*3-(k/b))) 
looks like bad math to me.

I may try fiddling with things sometime.
