I originally posted this in the robots.txt forum, but it was suggested I try here. How can I prevent pictures from my site from showing up in yahoo's image search? I don't think there is a separate bot for it and I know that:

Disallow: /*.jpg$
Disallow: /*.gif$

doesn't work for it, so is there another way to do it?

Your best bet is to put your images in a separate directory and then disallow robots into those directories via robots.txt exclusion.

The Multimedia crawler has an agent name of Yahoo-MMCrawler/3.x (mm dash crawler at trd dot
overture dot com)
