I have a problem with Yahoo defering my email from servers for weeks!
I've submit to [url]
from
[url]
MANY TIMES! this is getting me frustrated. what's more.. i try to change my SMTP to a new server (fresh IP within same network in the same DC) and it is ALSO deferred. How do I check if this has something to do with a whole block of IP maybe listed in some spam engine or something?
I was wondering if some of you more seasoned techie's can help me. I have a reseller hosting account and one of my clients is having issues with getting any email that is sent from any yahoo email account to her domain email. I have personally tried to send an email from my yahoo account to her domain email and here is the error I got back. None of my other clients has the issue. This is a new account by the way.

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Sorry, I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

We've recently had a lot of complaints from clients who say Yahoo! mail recipients are not receiving the emails they send. We first noticed this sometime November 2006 but it could have started earlier.
One solution would be to find another hosting provider. The problem is I suspect that it's happening to a lot of hosts and it's Yahoo! in particular that seems to have been a lot more stringent than they were in the past.
I remember some time back (2004 or 2005), AOL blocked an EHOSTPROS.COM server (SVR28) for over 6 months. We also had SVR75 with them and it wasn't blocked (I believe they were in the same DC). And AOL was notorious for blocking a lot of servers. I don't know how it is with them now because from the Philippines, there is very little email exchange with AOL.COM or AIM.COM accounts.
And there is a lot of emails going to YAHOO.COM accounts! And that's where the problem lies.
I first noticed it on my ResellerZoom reseller account (GRAY). Mails from GRAY accounts were completely blocked off by Yahoo! It didn't even go to the Bulk Folder. So Yahoo! was blocking the GRAY server's mail IP and not particular domains (I don't think blocking a domain makes any sense, you usually block IP's).
I opened a ticket with RZ and got great support. But of course, it was about 3 days before Yahoo! started accepting mails from GRAY. RZ did the best they can but could only have done so much.
And then the same thing happened with my HostGator reseller account (INFINITI). Similar issue as well.
From that time until today, it seems to come back on and off. Sometimes emails never reach Yahoo!, sometimes it lands in the Bulk Folder (that's a much lesser evil).
I have 3 reseller accounts at RZ (CAMERON B1, GRAY A1, R2 Failover-1) and 2 reseller accounts at HG (INFINITI and SONOMA). The same issue has come back again the past couple of days on INFINITI (HostGator) and GRAY (ResellerZoom). I'd open a ticket but it's on and off.
Dec 5 / Dec 6, several clients on INFINITI complained that emails to Yahoo! recipients were not being delivered. By the time we tested it, it was ok already. And then just a few hours ago, we got a call from a client on GRAY. We tested and emails were landing on the Bulk Folder. But after a couple of more tests, it went to the Inbox.
We advise clients to tell Yahoo! recipients to always check their Bulk Folders. We also ask the recipients to tag emails with MARK AS NOT SPAM hoping that would help.
You could say that I should be going to HG and RZ support for these. It's just that I don't think it's limited to them and I want to get feedback from others. I will also invite HG and RZ to give their comments on this post.
In the reseller hosting area, I'll actually be asking around also for reseller hosting that's more reliable with email. But I've been doing reseller hosting since May 2003 and have used all of the following:
EHOSTPROS.COM, HOSTDIME.COM, MIDPHASE.COM, SITE5.COM, BLIKSEMHOSTING.COM, HOSTGATOR.COM, RESELLERZOOM.COM
There were more in between but that was a quick in and out. The above list in the sequence I signed up and only includes those that I stayed with long enough (at least 6 months) to evaluate and decide if they're worth it.
I won't expound but avoid MIDPHASE, SITE5, and BLIKSEM. There's enough here on WHT for you to search upon.
My point is that, by far, I've had the best experience with HG and RZ and it does get tiring moving from one host to the other. And it's not that we haven't contributed to the problem. A lot of our clients' contact us forms have recently been hijacked by spammers and have caused abuse on the servers. We're working on fixing each and everyone of these scripts (> 80) and should solve it within a few days. We do our part but there are hundreds of accounts and millions of ways spammers try to hijack server resources for their cause. Note, however, that those scripts have been there for quite awhile and only recently have they been used to spam.
Although there are a lot of other hosts with good reps here on WHT, the only other host I am considering (for the moment) is Aussie Bob's DOTABLE.COM.
But then, right now, with these email woes, we're still evaluating our business. The bulk of our clients are dependent on email. Too much incoming spam is already an issue but mails not reaching intended recipients kinds of ruins the business.
Damned these spammers!
Is there actually a viable solution for this issue? Or is it something that we just have to start living with?
I have been getting this recently...For these two email addresses. Is there something that I can do about this? I've done tons of searching on google and actually putting my error (the one in the title) in quotes brings up like 3 results. All the other results bring up other numbers so...This isn't any sort of dns issue is it? I don't see why it would be but...I would preferably like to get rid of this little error. Has anyone else experienced it before? Thanks!

My server is being pounded with Yahoo bots, close to 500 or more at a time. They are causing my loads at various times of the day to skyrocket, crashing the mysql server, etc. They have been on my site for about 4 days now and I just dont see why that many bots are needed to crawl a single site for several days.
Is there any way around this without banning their ips? Any way to limit them?

Such problems does not occur with my qmail or icewarp merak. Any idea how to solve? Have already emailed Yahoo hoping to get a whitelisting of my IP. Besides installing domainkeys any other ways?
Has anyone ever used Yahoo to host their website? I have heard some good and more bad comments about them. I am a rookie at this so my site is going to be pretty basic. How do they rank vs. other hosting companies?
Yahoo has an “easy site creator” tool to make a site with a template like process. Do sites that use these rank as well in search engines as sites built without a template?
lately yahoo make advancements in their hosting plan,and i want to choose best of yahoo or bluehost. could anyone give me an opinion.

Some of my emails send to the clients who are using Yahoo's email is stored in their " Bulk " folder, so Yahoo is considering my email as spamer althought i'm not. So do you know how can i fix it ? Do i need to contat Yahoo about this matter ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedNowadays it's everyone's headache for sending mails to hotmail and yahoo i guess. I am having the same problem.
I add the domainkey to domains, but when i send mail to yahoo it drops to spam.
I didn't tried it with hotmail, but reason for dropping spam at yahoo is probably because of no spf record.
I am having a bit trouble with setting spf. I read some documents and my mind is messed up, i can't figure out what to do.
My server's ip address is : xx.xx.xx.xx
My server's hostname is : server.x.com
and i have domains like , y.com, z.com, f.com bla bla that wants to send mail to hotmail.
Those sites are using different ips, but each ip is using more than 1 site,
I read that i need to setup reverse dns, but one article says i should do it for my hostname, other one says for mail server : mail.x.com.
So first question how should i setup reverse dns?
Second question, it says i need to add spf record for my domain, does it mean my hostname, or the domain i want to send mail ?
v=spf1 a mx ptr ~all
and than i should fill form at https://support.msn.com/eform.aspx?p...rid&ct=eformts
and than wait.
So i will be glad if someone can answer my questions and tell me if there is any missing parts.
I am looking for an expert who can help me configure my dedicated server to ensure my email gets delivered to Yahoo.
I have an autoresponder script hosted on the server. The script was previously hosted with another host and I got excellent deliverability to Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail and everyone else.
Unfortunately the volume of mail was too large for that host, so now I have a dedicated server. Since I moved to the dedicated server (two weeks ago), my mail does not get delivered to Yahoo. It doesn't even go into the junk mail folder. It just disappears.
I am very strictt about using confirmed optin for my lists, so it's not a blacklist issue. Right from day one on the new server, my mail did not reach Yahoo. So it must be the way my server is set up.
If there is someone who knows how to resolve this, I am willing to pay you to solve the problem for me. Or, if there is anyone who can give me some advice, that would be much appreciated.
Im having problem with Yahoo web hosting. All .php pages is not working.. it will give you an error "403 Forbidden".
I cant even access my domain webhosting control panel..
I called Yahoo Customer Service and it will take 2-3 days to fix. Sad to know my website is down almost 1 week.
Can anyone tell me what's really going on with Yahoo Webhosting? Do they care their customers?
I have noticed that Yahoo is refusing emails coming from the IP of my server. I have written them and I got this email, has this happened to you too? Any recommendations? ...

View 3 Replies View RelatedLike so many others I am having the problem in which Hotmail and Yahoo are rejecting emails being sent from my server. I recently changed servers and this is most likely the reason.
While Hotmail hasn't been fixed, they have responded swiftly, usually within 6 hours.
I need to contact Yahoo about it but I can't find any information or forms to fill out. Could you please direct me to the correct URL - their site is a complete maze.
Unfortunately yahoo blocked our server ip, so our customer cant send any email to yahoo!
How can fix this issue? Do you have any email or ticket system in yahoo for contant about this issue?
business is just getting out of hand. I applied several weeks ago for Whitelist status, and my issues finally went away for a little over a week (though I never received a response to my Postmaster requests). But then today -bam- 100% deferrals for going on 18 hours now, not a single message has gone through. And naturally no two Yahoo servers give me the same error message.
So...
At this point I'm ready to contract out my Outbound mail to Yahoo through a whitelisted 3rd party until I can get this resolved on my end. Would this be reasonable? Is anyone else doing this? I worked with an outsourced SMTP provider in another life for an internal company mailing list with good success.
It seems that Yahoo does web hosting, and they offer WordPress as one of their one-click install kinds of things. Given the absolutely absurd responsiveness of yahoo.com, I was curious if anyone actually used them as a webhost?
Their pricing is decent, but I'm wondering about performance? I'm currently with Dreamhost, and I'm okay with them, except that WP performance isn't great (not awful, though, either), despite having wp-cache installed and operational.
So how good it Yahoo's small business webhosting? Their TOS seems pretty generous as well.
