I need hosting (No Yahoo SPAM)
- Thread starter Hamed
- Start date
Yahoo blocks a lot of emails. Unfortunately, it is not up to the discretion of the Web host whether they do this or not. Our service now, as well as one I ran myself in the past, were dramatically affected by Yahoo blocking our mail servers. So just something to keep in mind - the host can't help it. And I'd honestly recommend Gmail for email. They don't block your emails without even allowing you to choose to read them if you wish....just sayin'.

Then give more information. No one has the slightest of what your requirements are, not to mention if the language is not going to be in English, loosely based on your personal blog.
Tell people what you need for space, transfer, language restriction, and the content of said website.
As for the Yahoo spam, simply make a disclaimer for those signing up for whatever to look in their spam folder and then mark "not spam". That should prevent it from hitting spam folder.
In addition to that, as we mentioned in your other thread, contact yahoo and explain your situation and ask that they remove your server's IP(s) from their blacklist. I've had to do the same thing also from time to time with big email providers such as: hotmail, yahoo, mediacom, comcast, etc. They are usually pretty prompt about getting back with you and the IP is typically removed from their blacklist within 24 hours.
Sain Cai,
If only the issue with Yahoo were that simple. The company actually blocks emails from even being whitelisted by the end-user or being retrieved from the spam folder. Yahoo completely blocks certain other mail servers (at their sole discretion) from sending mail to Yahoo Mail servers. Yahoo Mail users and senders have no control over this - both parties are at the unfortunate mercy of Yahoo. (One can submit a form to Yahoo requesting an unblock, but they rarely respond and even rarer is to actually have a server unblocked.) This is why I recommend no one use Yahoo Mail anymore - the company is more of a control freak than Google has ever been. It is not right that folks can't choose for themselves which of their incoming mail is spam and which isn't.
I've never had luck (as of yet) getting an IP removed from Yahoo's blacklist. Last submitted the form a couple of weeks ago, and have heard nothing back yet (and emails still aren't going through). No other email provider is as difficult to work with, and others will (as you say) usually remove the IP within a couple of days.
You can choose to complain about it, which will do nothing. You can choose to ignore people who use yahoo mail, which will also do nothing but block out a huge majority of the entire Internet community.
Fill out this form:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo//mail/postmaster/defer.html
If you do not hear anything back, you can send an email their support here:
mail@cc.yahoo-inc.com
If that also yields no response, then CALL them:
1-408-349-1572
Don't be affraid to pick up the phone and dial them. Everybody seems to exclude phone support as an option these days. It's a lot easier to ignore an email than it is to ignore a phone call.

Yes, as I already said, that's the form I already filled out several times and never got a response to. But thanks anyway.
Thanks for sharing the phone number. Was not aware they had a phone department for this. If you don't mind my asking, where did you find that number for them?
Can you tell me where majority of the world uses yahoo mail?
Over 100 people I know just in this locale around me use either gmail or hotmail.
If I go out of this state, majority use hotmail. And if I just generalize from past experiences, most people use hotmail.
But, I will agree that yahoo doesn't let others contact you via email. The email server that is sending to your yahoo account must be a verified "partner" of yahoo, otherwise its blocked and will never be unblocked. You can try to do that form, but if they haven't changed their policies in over a decade, why would they change now?
Would you be interested in Directadmin as a control panel?
If so, I can match your needs for no posting or ads required.
How much email are you planning on sending out a day?
