Yahoo bouncing all emails..

[gaydemon]

For some bloody reason Yahoo has started to bounce all emails from my gaydemon.com domain.

So when people signup to gaydemon to submit sites, they never actually recieve a verfication emails, neither can I contact anyone on a Yahoo address.

I can't even find out why. There has never been spam sent out from gaydemon, neither have I ever done bulk email of any kind. It just doesnt make any sense.

Does anyone know why Yahoo might be doing this?

This is what i get back from yahoo:



Connected to 66.196.82.7 but greeting failed.
Remote host said: 421 Message from (208.70.245.37) temporarily deferred - 4.16.50. Please refer to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-06.html
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

By the way, so that means if anyone of you haven't heard back from me and you use Yahoo.. this is why.

I suggest you to ask your host about that, probably they know what is it about...

the new yahoo email sux ass! I hate it i always loved yahoo email, but it has been fucked since they switched a month or 2 back, going to have to dump my emails into gmail or something.

We got exactly the same problem with our opt in newsletter, and I would not have considered 1 mail per month as being spam either.

BT / Yahoo changed their email system a couple of months back, resulting in me not being able to use their mail servers for sending any personal mail of mine either unless I register every mail address I wish to use with them, bollocks to that, mind I have plenty of mail servers but thats not the point.

Just as a note the newsletters were going out from our dedicated server and not via BT so that was not the cause of them blocking it.

Best of it is though I get more real spam through on my personal BT mail since they changed then I ever did before!!!

The word "wankers" springs to mind :)

I know that Yahoo uses this proprietary Domain Keys system and wants every domain it is accepting mail from to have a Domain Keys signature in the DNS record. I don't know if they explicitly reject mail that doesn't come with a Domain Keys signature, but if so, that could be the problem.

I don't think it's difficult to get a Domain Keys record added to your DNS and I don't know if that's the problem, but it's worth a try.

Same here, got a opt in for signups when people want to add their sites to gaydemon. But thats about it.

Thanks, that might be exactly it. I will see what my host can do.
