keythumper Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I work the abuse desk for a small ISP. We have been getting a lot of callers complaining that the yahoo news groups are being unsubscribed due to bouncines. (550 host is listed in bl.spamcop.net) I have not yet been able to get one of my customers to send me a header so that I can identify the problem. Has anyone else encountered this?

Merlyn Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Yahoo has newsgroups (nntp)? That's news............ Yahoo Groups mail servers frequently make it into the blocklist because of their lack of control and spamming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might just get a form letter back but someone at Yahoo might actually do something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wazoo Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Probably a bit late, but in case you're taking heat for the Yahoo being blocked issue, I see that no one referenced to one (of many) previous conversations ... you could point some of your irate customers to http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?...c=2061 (which also references a few other conversations about Yahoo groups) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
