Yes definately a phising email,

No respectable company (especially one like yahoo) would email you asking for your password, thats the giveaway. They will have your password on file allready no doubt, how stupid do these phishers think we are.

I did a whois lookup and either yahoo took the domain (pretty quickly too) or he's using yahoos details and if its still his domain then he must be unusually witty as hes even using the same registrar, I notice the nameservers are not in the same order as yahoo.com but I doubt that matters.
