    S**t! One of the changes we made to my account involved the SPF record, and now it's fixed. We also made changes to the DMARC records.

    I like your theory of an enforcement change at Yahoo. Even so, refusing the socket hardly seems like the correct response to an SPF failure.

    Agreed that the response seems incorrect. I suppose they are more interested in foiling spoofers, so dropping the socket connection is the easiest thing to do. Not that I agree with it, just that it makes sense.

    After reading replies from some others here it triggered a vague memory of something I read recently. I did a little digging and found it:

    https://knowledgebase.constantcontact.com/email-digital-marketing/articles/KnowledgeBase/51399-Google-and-Yahoo-email-authentication-requirement-changes?lang=en\_US

    Microsoft & Yahoo did in fact announce new email authentication requirements to be effective FEBRUARY 2024. Looks like somebody jumped the gun a bit.

    That's the common thread. Was the change in your Microsoft DNS or your registrar DNS?

    It would have hit us all the same, just a few weeks later. And it sounds like the SPF record is irrelevant now (at least for Yahoo).

    Registrar. Just implemented a DMARC record. Will have to wait and see.
