Yahoo provides different email plans for personal and business use.

Yahoo users only allows users to register yahoo.com accounts. They had allowed other domains like ymail.com. Yahoo also maintains the email infrastructure for the following domains:

  • aol.com
  • att.net
  • comcast.net
  • verizon.net

Info

Yahoo defers mail at higher rates than other inbox providers. They more often defer mail that differs from established patterns. Senders should take care when introducing sending elements to their email program and warm additional IP addresses.


Authentication support

Yahoo checks a sender's domain DNS TXT records for a Sender Policy Framework (SPF) list, DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) signature, and a Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) policy. It requires SPF and DKIM at any volume of messages and requires DMARC for a daily volume of more than 5,000 messages.

Authentication methodNecessity
SPFRequired
DKIMRequired
DMARCRequired for more than 5,000 messages per day

For blocklisting decisions, Yahoo uses Spamhaus.


Yahoo bases its feedback loop (FBL) on the DKIM signature. Twilio allows the FBL to report back to us, Twilio double DKIM signs each message to Yahoo domains.
