Bouce Back Emails

[Jase2]

It's come to the point where I have to disallow the use of Yahoo! emails, unfortunately. When members sign up with one, they never receive the activation email and I always get bounce back emails. Yahoo! are now appearing to "greylist" all emails that go through their mail server. The emails are being deferred -- and it happens mostly on a shared hosting account. I understand it stops spam, but what about the legit sites out there?

Hey Jason, I just came across this modification. I'm not sure if it's of interest to you: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=138884

Thanks Lynne, will look into it. I'll drop my host an email, they should be able to stop it.

Have you contacted Yahoo? I have emailed them several times and supposally the IP is whitelisted. I do not get as many bounced emails as before but still are getting some.

Yes, still awaiting a reply. However, they cannot whitelist IPs that host multiple accounts (shared server).
