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.

    I had the problem on a 29-member mail list. Yes started March 8. Yahoo, and also AOL, and all ATT-"subsidiaries", e.g. sbcglobal. Everyone received and replied to my email Wednesday and Thursday, but Friday I received no responses from aol, Yahoo and Att group.

    A colleague said the common link is ATT, who are trying to kill off tens of millions of unused email accounts. But this doesn't help me in the interim. Will I ever be able to email these guys as a group? I'd just like to get this resolved.

    Any help will be valuable.

    FYI

    I'm seeing 3 IP addresses in that range (67.195.228.*) from my custom domain to Yahoo that gets deferred. They're successfully delivered in less than 1 hour. It should be instant delivery. Something is going on between Microsoft and Yahoo SMTP servers. I have all 3 DNS records setup since 2019 and never had any issues since then.

    Here's one of the 3 outgoing email from my company domain (hosted on MS 365)

    Reason: [{LED=450 4.4.318 Connection was closed abruptly (SuspiciousRemoteServerError)};{MSG=};{FQDN=mta5.am0.yahoodns.net};{IP=67.195.228.94};{LRT=3/11/2024 10:19:35 PM}]. OutboundProxyTargetIP: 67.195.228.94. OutboundProxyTargetHostName: mta5.am0.yahoodns.net

    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.
