    An additional IP address added to the affected email route that is not blocked by Yahoo has now completed its warm up process and is now the primary sending IP for the affected route. Our logs indicate that bulk email is no longer being prevented from delivering to Yahoo email servers on this route.

    Our engineers have identified an issue with all bulk email being prevented from delivering to Yahoo email servers. This affects email addresses with the following domains: - yahoo.com - yahoo.co.uk - aol.com - rocketmail.com - sky.com Only our bulk email route is affected (emails sent from workflows and bulk actions). Transactional emails continue to have very good deliverability. We are in contact with Yahoo email support to try and resolve this issue and we have taken action to attempt to route around the problem. Bulk email is now being delivered to Yahoo, though some emails are significantly delayed and a small number are still failing. We will keep you updated with the situation.
