During the last week of May, 2009, some senders experienced mail rejected by yahoo.com which referenced Spamhaus PBL data. But when they looked up their IP address, it was not in any Spamhaus list. The error was not consistent, and sometimes resubmitting a message might result in its delivery. Yahoo! is aware of the problem and made this announcement on its postmaster list (Wed May 27, 2009):
We have received reports that some senders are seeing intermittent IP blocks when sending to Yahoo! Mail, with the SMTP error message from us citing that the block was due to a Spamhaus listing -- e.g., "553 5.7.1 [BL21] Connections not accepted from IP addresses on Spamhaus PBL." (See our full list of SMTP error messages at http://postmaster.yahoo.com/errors/ .) If you have any doubt whether your IP is listed in any Spamhaus list, our lookup form provides the correct and authoritative answer. If your IP is listed, our website provides links to further information. If it's not listed then we can't offer further assistance.
