They could forward the emails from within Gmail to Yahoo if they wanted. It was a way that used diplomatic force to help me maintain my sanity. As you can imagine, I am not the one who drafted that email. We gave them 15 days to decide on the change, after which we were simply unsubscribing them. Guess what? Everyone obliged and changed! They were just a handful - about 140 users Before that, using Exim as the MTA, I had a special purpose router and transport to handle mail to Yahoo domains and it's siblings: ``` # Special Purpose Router to throttle sending e-mails to Yahoo & Siblings who are a PITA :) outbound_throttled: driver = dnslookup domains = \N^yahoo\.\N : rocketmail.com : ymail.com : y7mail.com : \ btinternet.com : btopenworld.com : verizon.net : aol.com : gmail.com retry_use_local_part transport = throttled_smtp # Transport throttled_smtp: driver = smtp connection_max_messages = 5 max_rcpt = 5 serialize_hosts = * retry_use_local_part hosts_avoid_pipelining = * tls_verify_cert_hostnames = !* ``` The fact that we were DKIM-signing the emails from the ML did not help much. Delivery to Yahoo and it siblings would take even two days and most would fail. For starters, maybe you can implement the above Exim transport strategy in your MTA.
