How do I block yahoo's SE spider and allow their image spider?
Does Yahoo send a different spider for the image search?

I fear that I'm blocking both from my attachment.php when all I want is for the image bot. Thank you.

as far as I can tell, yahoo doesn't have an image bot. I guess I shouldn't be blocking attachment.php. But on the other hand, I'm seeing my images in the regular SERPS. Looks like a Yahoo issue, which is why Google sends a separate bot for images.

I think the yahoo image bot is "Yahoo-MMCrawler/3.x (mms dash mmcrawler dash support at yahoo dash inc dot com)"
