Nah, it's queuing up and I see it send later down the line to their MX but then it ends up in spam boxes or cannot be found anywhere. I just heard back from the xtra guys where i sent some test messages, and the mail was received as per normal and not in the spam box, so very weird... Works for one, but fails for everyone else! :/ I use greylisting myself and this allows for at least a 'helo' & 'mail from:' so it can whitelist the host for future messages should they deliver 10 mins later. Cheers B
That sounds not unlike greylisting.
Are you (erroneously) dropping mail when you get that response?

1 in every 5-10 attempts go through.
When mails do finally go through they are getting lost or added to spam folder, I cant find my mail server listed on any blacklists at all so can only suspect that yahoo has some local blacklist? Obviously this is a concern as clients aren't receiving invoices thus getting suspended after 3rd warning, then calling up to say they haven't received any info from us. I've tried sending from different email domains but problem persists, I'd suggest they've perhaps blocked my MX?
Xtra business complex faults suggest I can fill out a form which gets submitted to yahoo team, who will then send me another form to get my domain whitelisted, but they suggest I will have to do this for all 2000 domains on this one specific host.
