I don't know if that's also true of my situation — all the messages I'm describing are held in the mail queue of my
Dedicated Server and, after they are finally delivered (often forcefully), I'm not party to any information from the Yahoo account holders whether the messages arrived as Junk Mail and whether they have subsequently whitelisted those sender addresses or not ...
If you know your messages are never being delivered then it suggests they are staying in the mail queue until expiry, or they are being dumped by the server's own message filters (yes it happens), or worse still, your server has been blacklisted by Yahoo. Until you ask your server Admin if those are being held in the queue, or what the queue deferral messages contain, how can you know?
I have the impression that the eUKhost experiments were probably not done with mailing list or forwarded examples like my own, but regularly addressed mail which I don't seem to have a problem delivering to Yahoo addresses — either that or none of my clients are sending messages to Yahoo accounts other than in the ways I described! All I can confirm is that an eUKhost support person has logged into my
Dedicated Server as root and successfully sent an email to their Yahoo test account, which is partly why I arrived at the conclusion that it's only affecting Mailman, apps and forwardees.
This prompts me to ask Mark, who in your organisation checks the mail queue on each Shared Hosting server and manages it like I do with mine?
