Got my Yahoo issue fixed!!! Was related to two things: - A company called ProofPoint had my block along with several other neighboring /20's listed due to a SPAM incident that happened in 2013. Spoke to them. Very nice people. They understood and cleared it up right away. Yahoo uses ProofPoint to help determine email reputation. - I filed a BBB complaint. Within 24 hours I was put in touch with Derrick who was able to fix everything first try.
Moral of the story: If you are blacklisted by Yahoo and not actually sending SPAM, it's probably due to abuse in the past from a nearby netblock. Check Proofpoint.com to see if you listed https://support.proofpoint.com/rbl-lookup.cgi?ip= and don’t hesitate to file a BBB complaint. Gets results FAST. Don’t bother calling yahoo.. even their abuse contacts from their whois info just go to a receptionist who has his/her hands completely tied and cannot offer any help or even give anyone a message. If you file a BBB complaint, be nice and follow up saying the business fully resolved your issue and your satisfied. _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
