Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had any experience/suggestions regarding warming an IP address that delivers to Yahoo managed domains (yahoo, aol, sky.com, etc)?

We're bringing up a new Postfix instance handling outbound transactional and marketing emails for our e-commerce site. The IP doesn't appear on any spam-lists that I can find, we're signing all our emails and deliverability from the sibling Postfix instances to Yahoo addresses is entirely fine. List-unsubs & service-feedback on spam are all acted upon automatically. As best I know: we're a good citizen.

The new server has been delivering low-volume transaction messages (receipts, purchased vouchers, etc) for 6 weeks or so and we've been gradually delivering lower value, higher volume content to our subscriber list through it for about the past 2 weeks. Hotmail, Gmail, other big providers are all entirely fine with the volume and we're seeing accepted messages and expected levels of click-thought afterwards.

Except for Yahoo.

As soon as we send more than a couple of messages to yahoo within a few minutes we see...

Messages from 151.236.220.98 temporarily deferred due to unexpected volume or user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see https://postmaster.yahooinc.com/error-codes (in reply to MAIL FROM command)

Messages get deferred for 6-8 hours before being accepted.

Yahoo support have said a problem with the IP was "fixed", but the problem persists.

Has anyone had particular trouble convincing Yahoo to accept messages?

Thanks,

Gavin
