Cannot Send Emails Using OE 6.0 To Yahoo Email Addresses?

For some reason today my OE 6.0 is not allowing me to send emails to
recipients with Yahoo (yahoo.com) email addresses? Help?

 

I suspect you are leaving out some very important details. For example,
are you trying to send a mail with 50 or 100 yahoo addresses in the To
or CC or BCC?

 

...and is he sending using his hotmail address, or an address from his
ISP? Or maybe too much spam is coming from his ISP so yahooo is
blocking all the ISP's mail servers...

 

Or maybe hir provider's output server is being 'mistakenly' blocked by
yahoo.

Enraged AT&T spam filter eats legitimate mail-- ... people who get their
email from Yahoo.com, PacBell.net, BellSouth.net, or other domain names
controlled by AT&T noticed a big drop in the amount of spam beginning
sometime late last week. But at the same time, many of these users also
found they were unable to receive email from legitimate sources.

 

'Ceptin' that article references AT&T Worldnet's 'blacklist' which works
in the opposite direction of the OP's problem here. (I'm a Worldnet
subscriber.) And it has been in effect for .. I forget exactly when, but
more than a couple years. IP addresses are watched, and if one spams
*toward* Worldnet, the IP address is blocked, no matter how many users
may be on it. Most problems are with small companies who use shared web
site mail servers, where the chance is high there is a compromised
'contact us' form on one of the shared sites.

 

No, don't provide anything that would help troubleshoot like an error
message or anything.

 

That article is dated 2008 Mar 24. It is about the various ATT related
providers such as yahoo blocking all kinds of IPs. If the OP is trying
to mail a yahoo client and hir mail provider's output is rejected, that
would/might cause the symptom the OP is trying but failing to describe
very well.

The article contains several links to forum discussions. This one is
useful
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20193346-Has-ATT-andor-Yahoo-started-filtering-Spam
Has AT&T and/or Yahoo started filtering Spam?

 

Worldnet (att.net addresses, and the primarily dial-up service) has been
filtering inbound spam for a long time. AT&T and Yahoo exists only as an
integrated service with one of AT&T's regional DSL services, commonly
referenced as AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet, or AT&T Yahoo! HSI.

S'far as I know, AT&T has no ownership interest in the Yahoo! company.

 

The article refers to yahoo and others as "customers of AT&T-controlled
email services"

I'm relying on/ arguing/ the 'integrity' of the article's veracity. I
have no personal knowledge of who is a customer of whose mail services.

 

Don't provide any details as they get in the way of providing vague
responses. PROVE you cannot send to Yahoo recipients. What error do
YOU get?

Please send your emails to gmail and forward a copy
to your yahoo recipients of your much anticipated
next messages. (Oh yeah, that could really happen.)
And follow-up with a nice detailed report.
