Started to get this and can't send email to Yahoo.

206.190.53.191 failed after I sent the message.
Remote host said: 554 Message not allowed - UP Email not accepted for policy reasons. Please visit [help.yahoo.com...]

I don't send spam but I guess if someone in shard ip does, they will bounce our email too..

I'm on shared hosting. Does that mean I must buy an IP or how do I recover ability to send email to Yahoo?

They periodically tweek their filters and we often have periods where messages are delayed becasue of temporary blocking.

Just because you think you don't send SPAM doesn't mean you're not on their radar. One of their users may have mistakingly labeled a message from you as SPAM. Or some SPAMMER may be using your e-mail address (or your domain name) to send SPAM. In this case, getting a dedicated IP address won't do anything.

Also, if they are blocking a big block of IPs, then getting another IP in the same range won't fix things either.

You can try contacting them (good luck!) and seeing if they will give you a specific reason why you ar ebeing blocked.

You aren't the only one. There was a post about this in another forum yesterday.
