Hi Alexander,

MailChimp had been seeing this issue as well across our IPs. It was happening 
with all domains that use Yahoo’s mail infrastructure (AOL, Verizon, etc). We 
reached out to Yahoo and they got it fixed up on their end. Your milage may 
vary of course, but if what you’re seeing is related to what we were seeing 
reaching out to Yahoo is the best bet.

Thanks,
Matt Gilbert
