Yahoo Email Forwarders Removed

Effective 3/14/2012 we no longer support Email Forwarders that are setup to forward to an yahoo.com address. Yahoo recently blocked 1 of our servers due to Email Forwarders pointing to Yahoo addresses. The reason being is because the spam filter on our servers does not work on an Email Forwarder so even spam messages were forwarded to the Yahoo servers. Yahoo claims there is a lot of spam coming from our servers even though there is no spam originating from them. We are not listed on any RBL (Real-time Block Lists) and our Email Reputation at senderbase.org is Good for all server IPs.

In order to prevent Yahoo from blocking even more of our servers we can longer support Email Forwarders that point to a yahoo.com address. We have removed all Email Forwarders that were pointing to yahoo.com addresses on all of our servers. It was a requirement from Yahoo in order to get the current block removed.

You can still use our email services, just setup the email address as a mailbox within cPanel > Email Accounts. You can then check the mailbox using POP using an Email program on your computer or via webmail. You can even setup your Yahoo account to download messages from the mailbox via POP instead (within Yahoo go to Options > Mail Accounts). If you do setup the mailbox within Yahoo, please make sure you turn on the Spam Filter on our server within cPanel > Spam Assassin.

If you need any help setting any of the above up please open a support ticket.
