Yahoo's Feedback Loop is DomainKey based, but their blocking is IP based. At least that's how it used to be. Never made much sense to me to have an FBL based on DomainKeys, meaning every domain name that sends from an IP address has to have a registered feedback loop based on the DomainKey. All

Just keep sending them an email everyday. Sometimes you have to send an email a day for a week or two before they pick up on it. Not sure why they haven't created a website form to submit these. Relying on email for delisting like this is a recipe for disaster. What do we set the Subject as to

There was once an IP based one? I only ever knew of the DKIM one. Which never made a lot of sense to me - since with shared hosting there can be multiple domains sending mail from an IP. To configure DKIM and the DKIM feedback loop for every domain wasn't practical. On Mon, Dec 28, 2020 at
