Net neutrality: Our experience with Yahoo email blocking

More than two years trying to get off Yahoo spam list, and they're still blocking our email. Latest message to hundreds of our emails is:

xxxxx@btinternet.com: host mx2.bt.mail.yahoo.com[195.50.106.142] refused to talk to me: 421 4.7.1 [TS03] All messages from 216.194.248.199 will be permanently deferred; Retrying will NOT succeed. See http://postmaster.yahoo.com/errors/421-ts03.html

We had a similar problem which we managed to mostly resolve with this fix:

you'll need to add a spf record to your dns server.
