RE: Yahoo! Mail/Sys Admin
Hello Everyone, It's been a while since I posted on this topic, and unfortunately I'm still having trouble with Yahoo deferrals. The links that were provided in this post worked, but after the forms were received by what I *think* is a human I still got a canned reply. I've tried replying with specific details about our problem, but is either answered with another generic reply or not at all. We are running Imall, and each domain has it's own IP address. Queue Timer and Tries before returning to sender are set to 30 minutes / 5 attempts. According to yahoo they do want you to attempt to resend if you get a 421 error. SPF is also set on a per-domain basis. I'm not sure what else to try. Does anyone have a better understanding of how Yahoo greylisting works? Thanks in advance! Justin Wilson
RE: Yahoo! Mail/Sys Admin
We've been having trouble sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Getting the infamous 421 Message from (x.x.x.x) temporarily deferred - 4.16.50. Please refer to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-06.html. When I follow the referred link I get to http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/abuse/abuse-60.html, which then points you to this URL: http://help.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/mail/cgi_defer which is supposed to be a form. Sadly, that link loops you back to the Yahoo mail login page. Once you login your choices are quite limited and are for basic E-mail help. I've tried contacting yahoo through those links but I get a canned reply. It's been over a month of consistent deliverability issues to Yahoo and we're not one step closer to solving the problem. The one thing I did notice is when I modified SPF to include the IP address instead of the domain of the deferred MTA, E-mail would get through, but only for a few days then it was back to deferral. I've read the older posts on NANOG and various gripes about Yahoo greylisting on google but all the leads have come to a dead end. Does anyone know an interactive yahoo contact they could share with me? Thank you, Justin Wilson
