messg spam from my office email to yahoo
Our users are complaining about emails to gmail/google today too.
The advice I got from the tech was to open a ticket and submit feedback through the feedback button in the admin portal for EACH tenant individually to try and raise awareness of an issue.
Hopefully anyone else coming across this who is having problems will take the time to open a ticket too!

I opened a ticket with Microsoft, and as others have stated- they can't do anything. I tried to get someone to push it up the engineering chain... maybe someone high enough at MS knows some contact at Yahoo- but that was a long shot.
Yahoo has no free support, you have to sign up for a subscription for any support request. However, a colleague of mine did have a link to Yahoo's Sender Hub, which I believe is targeted at people trying to remove blacklisted domains from Yahoo blocks.
I entered a ticket here: https://senders.yahooinc.com/contact/ under "Problems Delivering Mails" - I'd encourage you to do the same. While I got something of a generic response that the issue was being investigated, "please try again in a few days," perhaps if enough people complain something actually might get done.

I paid for the Yahoo plus support for one month but they couldn't help - They just said to while-list the domain on my test yahoo account. I also filled out the form on Yahoo's Sender Hub (https://senders.yahooinc.com/contact/ ) but never heard back from them.

What I can't understand is how this isn't a "bigger deal"? Microsoft has hundreds of millions of corporate users and Yahoo/AOL still have millions of subscribers. These are companies that do business direct with consumers communicate via email regularly. Presumably Microsoft is hosting thousands of these companies, and Yahoo/AOL are hosting thousands of their customers. I heard of these issues relatively quickly from our (highly) non-technical users- multiple clients were telling our users that "I didn't respond to you, because all of your email is going to Spam." This is a significant business impact.
I am pretty sure its ALL Office 365/Exchange Online and ALL Yahoo/AOL. Microsoft support (out of India) sent email to brand new accounts we created in AOL and Yahoo- and they were moved very shortly to the Spam folder.
I've tested all sorts of email- they are all clean, valid SPF and DKIM... I've sent some encrypted, some not... all to Spam, every time. I can't imagine this is not a systemic issue and is only isolated to a few of us. But then I can't imagine why I can't find any more complaints on "the Google."
- dwsapoMay 23, 2022Copper ContributorSame here all yahoo mail is going to spam from any domain under my E3 office 365 account. Open a ticket last week and still trying to resolve this. Good to see others are having the same issue. Hopefully microsoft can dig deeper into the issue
