Hello -
FWIW, I've seen this recently from Yahoo as well, and have been unable to
get a reponse from Yahoo about it.
It seems very likely that, as Grant Taylor suggests, its a filtering
issue. It's been an occasional recommendation here for users of high
priority lists to use a mail provider other than Yahoo, for more or less
this reason. Our guess is that if a user or users report mailing list
messages as spam, instead of unsubscribing, Yahoo's filter may begin
mistreating list messages from a given source as spam for a time -
usually a week or two.
Yahoo's lack of outbound communication, and the 5xy rejection code for an
active user make unravelling this more of a challenge than it need be.

Unable to deliver message to the following address(es).

Okay. That seems like a generic "non existent user" type response.
(I've snipped the address)
;-)
I got this delivery failure on perhaps 30 yahoo users over the last couple
days, and it is repeating. When I write to any of the users personally,
they respond that - yes, they are still there.
Okay. So Yahoo is returning 5xy errors that make it seem like the recipient
address is invalid for known good recipient addresses.
It sounds like some sort of filtering is either mis-behaving or poorly
configured to me.
Has there been any noise about Yahoo on mailop about this new behavior?
