Hi guys, lately emails from my Plesk VPS are not being delivered to Yahoo or ending up in spam. Here's the error message in my qmail log

qmail: 1237368003.763754 status: local 0/10 remote 1/20
qmail-remote-handlers[3087]: Handlers Filter before-remote for qmail started ...

qmail: 1237368008.514386 delivery 151: deferral: 216.39.53.2_failed_after_I_sent_the_message./Remote_host_said:_451_Message_temporarily_deferred_-_[270]/

I'm not a spammer and I've also set up SPF and domainkeys. Here's the result from Port 25's email testing tool (http://www.port25.com/domainkeys/):

Appreciate any help and advice you can give me about getting off Yahoo's blacklist. Thanks

I've had that happen before from various mail providers because they use their own spam protection system. Your best bet is to contact Yahoo, and report this false blockage.

This should point you in the right direction: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/

You may also want to verify that your server isn't sending spam without your knowledge.
