Just to let you gals and guys know that Yahoo no longer seems to be rejecting emails sent from PBL-listed IP addresses (PBL-Public Policy List). Those emails now seem to be pushed straight into the spam folder, probably without being processed by spam filters, instead of being rejected outright. How do I know that? I have received 2 100% non-spam emails in my spam folder in the last 24 hours and they were both listed in PBL and PBL only.

Hoping that this is a permanent policy change on Yahoo’s part.

(I originally posted this message and some further background to the PBL blocklist in ‘Yahoo delays, part 4′ on this website.)

If anyone having this problem would like me to ask both Yahoo and Spamhaus about it, please send me an email with the IP address that was rejected, when it was rejected and the full rejection message. My email address is laura at wordtothewise.com. I will see if I can get an explanation from either entity and let people know.

Yes I have the same problem. Our mail server is not listed on any of Spamhauses databases yet I am getting bounces back from Yahoo stating that we are in fact on the Spamhaus XBL. I would like to co-op with whoever else is having the problem to get it fixed.

Yes. We have a server that has never been listed on Spamhaus but Yahoo claims its on the PBL. Four requests to Yahoo and no response although they promise to respond within 48 hours.

Looks like their PBL list isn’t working properly.

Has any one had a block by yahoo that talks about the PBL but when you gotospamhaus it shows it not in the database?
