Delayed deliveries

[Jawloms]

As of yesterday afternoon, I'm seeing the occasional delayed message when sending to yahoo or AOL email addresses. Anyone else seeing this? Onsite Exchange, SchoolsBroadband on Netsweeper, no "Smart Host". Where do I start diagnosing it? live.co.uk/outlook/other microsoft ones seem fine.

 

Thank you

Please?

It's most likely to be their end, AOL uses yahoo for their email backend.

Wouldn't that mean that more people would be seeing it though?

There are articles going back as far as 2006 regarding yahoo delaying deliveries

I'm still getting this. I'm not on any blacklists that MXToolbox knows about. Any advice please?

We got hit by this about 6 months ago, after we'd changed our school IP address then sent out a mass parent email.

 

Took about 2-3 weeks before traffic to Yahoo/AOL returned normal.

Bum. I'm with @SchoolsBroadband and my external IP has recently changed. Anything I can do to speed up the process?

Nope.

@SchoolsBroadband - Anything you think you might be able to do? This is causing us quite some headaches!

We can try contact Yahoo's postmaster. We often find though that these emails go into a big void and we don't get a response....

 

if you can send me a PM with your IP and school name we can try contact them. Can I suggest you also do the same?

 

Thanks
