Yahoo Is Ignoring Stardard 404 for page not found... Why?

Yahoo keeps accumulating old bogus pages even though I told IIS to use the standard 404 page for page not found.

C:\WINNT\help\iisHelp\common\404b.htm

I've used the page tester tool "WebBug" and it returns the following "HEAD" when sent to one of our bad pages...

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Length: 1635
Content-Type: text/html
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2006 17:49:50 GMT
Connection: close

Has anyone else had this problem and know of a resolution. Yahoo seems to respond well to 301's and get rid of the old page, but it never seems to work well with 404's.

Thanks.
Chris.

Header Status Code...

needs to be set to:

Response.AddHeader "404","File Not Found"
Response.Status = "404 File Not Found"

and that should do it in Classic ASP.
