I haven't sent any messages and the problem persists after powering off my router for a few hours so
* I have picked up an IP address of someone who has sent too many messages and retained it while my router was off - in which case the message is lying because I know I haven't sent the messages "in a single day".
or
* I have picked up two different IP addresses of people who has sent too many messages.
or
* Yahoo is blocking (all?) Plusnet IP addresses because there is spam originating from some of them
or
* Something else
Has anyone else seen this message from Yahoo? Any idea what is going on?

I've seen exactly this in the last 2 days generated by Hotmail, due to some spammer using the email server I share (not PN) to send too many messages to Hotmail adresses.

To get SMTP/POP access Yahoo say you need to PAY for an additional service. This looks more like a bodged implementation of that, the only complaints I've seen (here and elsewhere) relate to free accounts that should not work at all!

The paid service gives a number of extras all of which are listed in the attachment 'Yahoo Mail Plus'. POP access does not feature in the list.

My Thunderbird connects to the SMTP server at yahoo.co.uk but gets a certificate from yahoo.com
Sending email via Yahoo.com (or .co.uk) has always been hit and miss.
Sometimes it goes, sometimes it doesn't.

I have managed to send messages by changing from SSL port 465 on outgoing messages to not SSL and port 25.
It is true that on parts of the Yahoo site it says that POP3 is available only to paying customers. This has been the case for a long time. However, the last time I looked I found a different page that contradicted that. It certainly has been working and (with the above change) is still working.

Has this 'someone' tried contacting our support team to see if they're able to help?
Have you got anything set up under Options > Mail Options > Filters on your Yahoo! account?

As the next step I have asked them to mail my PlusNet email address to see if that works. I'll also ask them to mail my Yahoo address by webmail to see if that makes a difference.

Good idea as Webmail uses different outbound servers. There's definitely no problems sending email from Madasafish to Plusnet so if they have problems with that too then the likelyhood is that it's a local problem.

We didn't get as far a trying webmail today but:
When they REPLIED to an email I sent from Yahoo nothing came back.
When they REPLIED to an email I sent from PlusNet nothing came back.
BUT
When they SENT a message to Yahoo the message arrived. I'll have to dig a little deeper.
Thanks for your input Bob. I failed to mention that their email service was originally set up for an IC24 dial up account and they moved in the second half of last year to Madasafish broadband (who had taken over IC24 ) retaining their @ic24.net email address. Could that be affecting anything?
