I think it took a few weeks for me to get a reply through that system...I believe their 'Bulk Mail Advocacy' said they are typically 72hours. Try increasing your retries to extend beyond that. -Ray -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu] On Behalf Of Jeff Shultz Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 2:55 PM To: Barry Shein; NANOG list Subject: Re: Problems sending mail to yahoo?

Is it just us or are there general problems with sending email to yahoo in the past few weeks? Our queues to them are backed up though they drain slowly.
They frequently return:
421 4.7.0 [TS01] Messages from MAILSERVERIP temporarily deferred due to user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see http://postmaster.yahoo.com/421-ts01.html
(where MAILSERVERIP is one of our mail server ip addresses)
Yes I followed the link and filled out the form but after several days no response or change.
I got the following auto-response to filling out the form: "This is an automated message regarding your recent request for Yahoo! Postmaster Customer Care Support. We have received your message but due to a temporary problem we wanted to let you know it could take up to a week until you receive a response. We apologize for this inconvenience. Thank you for reaching out to us. We look forward to helping you!" Makes me wonder exactly what their "temporary" problem is... a week of deferred mail could really stack up. -- Jeff Shultz
