Unable to send emails to Yahoo accounts

Starting a couple of days ago, I am unable to send emails to Yahoo accounts from my Outlook email. Here is the error message I receive:

Your message wasn't delivered. Despite repeated attempts to deliver your message, a connection to the remote server was closed abruptly.

Contact the recipient by some other means (by phone, for example) and ask them to tell their email admin that it appears that your email system is unable to connecto their email system. Give them the error details shown below. It's likely that the recipient's email admin is the only one who can fix this problem.

For Email Admins
This often indicates the recipient's firewall SMTP fixup setting or other firewall settings are preventing the SMTP protocol negotiation from succeeding.

For more information and tips to fix this issue see this article: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=389361. 

I went to the link suggested, and did not understand the instructions. Please assist. Thank you.

    As this is a known issue I would recommend that Microsoft have the DKIM and DMARC records as required in the Microsoft Exchange section of the DNS Records tab in Setting -> Domains and have the ability to check their status there.

    If this issue is missing/invalid DNS records for your domain name, the answer is never. Microsoft most likely can't edit your DNS records because they don't have permission to edit it. You do.

    Same issue here. Multiple clients cannot send to yahoo.com

    It appears to be the yahoo.com mail servers timing out.

    67.195.228.111

    67.195.228.94

    pending to both of the yahoo.com servers at these addresses.

    This solved the issue for me within 5 minutes. I confirmed it by using a test yahoo.com account and 5 minutes after I made the changes emails starting getting through.

    First I went to Go Daddy and added the following CNAME information.

    Then you have to go to https://security.microsoft.com/authentication?viewid=DKIM. Click on your domain and enable the option shown below.

    Once those steps were completed I tested it 5 minutes later and emails were getting through to Yahoo.

    Same thing is happening to me. For three days not. No emails are being delivered to Yahoo and AOL accounts.
