421 4.7.0 [TSS09] All messages from x.x.x.x will be permanently deferred; Retrying will NOT succeed

Yahoo has blocked your sending IP

Seen in Yahoo Mail, AOL

Despite the 421 code, Yahoo has blocked the IP: every message from it will be refused until the reputation problem is fixed.

Common causes

  • Sustained spam complaints or spam-trap hits from the IP.
  • A compromised account or server sending spam.
  • An IP with a poor history on a shared or recycled range.

How to fix it

  1. Stop the source of unwanted mail before asking for review.
  2. Clean the list and remove unengaged recipients.
  3. Request review through the Yahoo Sender Hub once fixed, or send through a reputable relay.
