Thanks for explaining your situation. And, obviously it's a bit
different from mine. My company has it's own mailserver, with Yahoo
Groups whitelisted, yet there are still messages that are getting
bounced. Most of the time it's mentioned that it was filtered out by
Spamcop's blacklist, and we do use Spamcop, but our mailserver isn't
supposed to bounce messages. And, at least one time it was bounced
based on a blacklist server that we don't use, and that brought my
partner and I to the conclusion that the messages are bounced by
another server than ours.

What makes the whole experience the more frustrating, is that the last
bounce message that Yahoo Groups is showing, doesn't show which server
bounced the message. In my case we would be able to further
investigate, but without that information we can't.
