Yahoo/AOL have an issue/bug, click here for workaround #866

Closed titanism closed 4 months ago

titanism commented 4 months ago

Hi folks 👋

We became alerted over the past 24 hours by our customers that use our service in combination with Gmail's send mail as feature. Specifically if you send an email from Gmail using the free send mail as feature (not with our SMTP server), then your emails to AOL/Yahoo/Verizon/Rocketmail will bounce with the following message:

550 5.7.9 This mail has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated. Yahoo requires all senders to authenticate with either SPF or DKIM.

Discussion is at https://support.google.com/mail/thread/272163711/yahoo-and-aol-emails-are-blocked?hl=en.

To fix this issue, you will need to setup DKIM on your domain (on our unlimited $3/mo plan). This change was not from us, but by Yahoo Postmaster – and it may be a bug – but in the interim you could use our outbound SMTP server as a workaround.

We will leave this issue open for ~48 hours to give users notice.

Thank you,
