Couldn't find a better forum to mention this or see any other way of raising it (so please move this thread if there's a better location)
The problem I'm having is that I'm getting mail bounce messages for any buyers with yahoo mail accounts.
This appears to be caused by yahoo enforcing domain keys authentication, however paypal uk isn't correctly addressing its outgoing emails to succeed the check.
It appears that paypal.com is now using domain keys to reduce spam/fraud however emails sent by paypal uk although sent from a "paypal.com" server with a "paypal.com" sender header have a "paypal.co.uk" from address and so this is failing the domain key verification and causing a bounce.
Just to clarify this isn't a problem with me sending out emails to yahoo and getting bounces, these are emails sent out by paypal that are getting bounced and paypal is then forwarding your mailer rejections onto me so this needs to passed on to whoever handles paypal mail issues.
Below copy of mail header and bounce report:
(addresses munged/edited for privacy and to get around forum filter)
Rejection:
The following message to <xxxxx @ yahoo.co.uk> was undeliverable.
The reason for the problem:
5.1.0 - Unknown address error 554-'5.7.5 (AU01) Message not accepted for policy
reasons. See http://postmaster.yahoo.com/errors/postmaster-28.html'
