Re: Hotmail/Yahoo servers blacklisted?

Hello
Can anyone confirm whether certain MSN Hotmail servers have been

Hotmail has been a source of major spewage in the last 6 weeks, and it's fairly likely that various blacklists have been plonking Hotmail, on and off.

reading, I think in this group, that Hotmail servers have indeed been
blacklisted.  I don't know how recently.  The reason I am asking is
that several people that in my contact list (and I am in theirs) are
not receiving any email from me.

If you expect E-mail to be a reliable medium, with or without Hotmail, in general, boy are you in for a surprise.

                                  I've also noticed this issue
cropping up in Yahoo mail during the last 3 weeks.  Can anyone also
confirm that?  If this turns out to be true, does anyone know why both
services may have been blacklisted by other mail servers?


Let me guess.  Spam?

                                                          I realize it
is not the entire list of servers that have been blacklisted under the
Yahoo or MSN domain, but probably specific servers that have been
blocked.  I heard a rumor


Don't listen to rumors.

                           that the reason why Yahoo servers are being
blacklisted is because, according to senderbase.org, senderbase lists
Yahoo as the top domain used to spam.  I would appreciate some insight.

Here's some insight: if you want reliable E-mail, the last place you will look is either Yahoo, or Hotmail, in any case.
