Is there anyone from xtra/yahoo who reads this list? I've run out of things that I can do to get your servers to accept my mail. This is what I get, and trying to follow up using the case number supplied just leads to another copy of the FAQ automatically sending to me. It's *always* mx2.tnz.mail.yahoo.com that does this to me, mx1 seems quite happy.

All the recommendations - PTR, SPF, DKIM, no html, etc have been followed. I'm starting to believe that it's this server that is plain misconfigured.
