[SC-Help] Yahoo! Mail bouncing Spamcop replies to reports

[Mark Jones]

Logging in to Spamcop I received the following notice:

"Bounce error
Your email address, majg12uk at yahoo.co.uk has returned a bounce:
Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)
Reason: 5.4.7 - Delivery expired (message too old) [Default]
451-'mta121.mail.ukl.yahoo.com Resources temporarily unavailable. Please
try again later. UP Email not accepted for policy reasons. Please visit

The link to Yahoo help explains that it could be because of Yahoo's
anti-phishing detection. As I regularly report phishing emails to Spamcop
any replies from Spamcop will bounce if they are caught by Yahoo's
ant-phishing technology.

I wrote to Yahoo! using the form at the following link
http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/mail/cgi_defer (who knows if they will
read it) the following:

"I am not a representative of Spamcop.net but a user so I do not have the
info requested above nor a copy of the email in question.

"I did receive a notice from Spamcop.net at their website that an email sent
to my Yahoo address bounced - probably because it contained a copy of a
phishing email I reported to spamcop. Please note that if Yahoo Mail will
bounce emails from Spamcop on this basis it makes Spamcop unusable with
Yahoo Mail and vice-versa. To correct this you could update your
anti-phishing filters to allow email from Spamcop (which often contain
copies of phishing emails reported to Spamcop).

"Without this my use of Yahoo! Mail is seriously impaired as I am a
dedicated Spamcop user."

It might be good if Spamcop contacted them at the same form to provide the
necessary info to stop this happening.
