Logging in to Spamcop I received the following notice: "Bounce error Your email address, [email protected] has returned a bounce: Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure) Reason: 5.4.7 - Delivery expired (message too old) [Default] 451-'mta121.mail.ukl.yahoo.com Resources temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. UP Email not accepted for policy reasons. Please visit http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-04.html [#4.16.4:190].' Please ensure your email account is reliable, then click below" The link to Yahoo help explains that it could be because of Yahoo's anti-phishing detection. As I regularly report phishing emails to Spamcop any replies from Spamcop will bounce if they are caught by Yahoo's ant-phishing technology. I wrote to Yahoo! using the form at the following link http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/mail/cgi_defer (who knows if they will read it) the following: "I am not a representative of Spamcop.net but a user so I do not have the info requested above nor a copy of the email in question. "I did receive a notice from Spamcop.net at their website that an email sent to my Yahoo address bounced - probably because it contained a copy of a phishing email I reported to spamcop. Please note that if Yahoo Mail will bounce emails from Spamcop on this basis it makes Spamcop unusable with Yahoo Mail and vice-versa. To correct this you could update your anti-phishing filters to allow email from Spamcop (which often contain copies of phishing emails reported to Spamcop). "Without this my use of Yahoo! Mail is seriously impaired as I am a dedicated Spamcop user." It might be good if Spamcop contacted them at the same form to provide the necessary info to stop this happening.
