config login IS NOT associated with login.yahoo.com or yahoo login
Several years ago we experienced a flood of extra traffic from the Yahoo Search Engine. At the time it tuirned out their programmers made an error in the configuration file, no pun intended. Every time a yahoo member would read their email, log out, then decide to log back in, KA-Boom they landed at config.com!
You may have searched Google or Yahoo for the string "config login login.yahoo.com" which landed you to this page. We hope that you understand while we enjoy the extra traffic sent to use by Yahoo, we really have no control over their servers or have any way to tell you how to fix it.
Well, it seems to be happening again... We apologize and can only suggest that you email Yahoo and explain to them what is happening when you get directed to our site. We also know of no way to prevent this from happening to you, except possibly not using your back button to log back in to Yahoo 
For the record some of the searches are pretty wild using the word config in Google during Jan 2008 included:
"msg.edit.yahoo.com config reset cookie"
"1 config login login login.yahoo.com login0 no reg suli try us us.rd.yahoo.com ym"
"http login.yahoo.com config login"
"1 config lisu login login login.yahoo.com login1 newym nouc reg try us us.rd.yahoo.com ym"
"1 1 config hash js last login login login.yahoo.com login0 md5 no p reg src suli try us us.rd.yahoo.com ym ym"
The above strings alone tally up to several hundred thousand of searches for the word config annually. We thought you'd under stand why we can't possibly respond to all the email we receive regarding this.
