odd email problem w/ yahoo

[Fark_Maniac]

I run my own web/email/mysql colocated server not on a residential internet provider and have been chugging along for quite a while. Recently it has come to my attention that yahoo filters off my emails to yahoo accounts to the bulk folder. I know gmail does not do this and I'm wondering what is throwing it to the bulk email...even the most simple of emails...just a simple text message.

X-Apparently-To: *my email addres* via *yahoo's email server*; Mon, 22 May 2006 21:10:43 -0700
X-YahooFilteredBulk: *my server's IP*
X-Originating-IP: [*my server's IP*]

Anyone have any ideas? need more info?

Maybe your server is blacklisted? Could be that Yahoo is using a different filter reference resource. Just my guess though, I don't really know.

well, my primary email server (colocated) is filtered on 8 of 143 blacklists. My secondary server (here on my residential line) is blocked on 23 of 143 blacklists...but I think that is because reverse lookup reveals it is comcast and not my domain

thanks for bringing up the idea of blacklists...

seems that my hosting company is "full of spammers"
