Summary

Gmail customers are currently unable to send unsigned messages to Yahoo.

Description:

A small subset of Gmail customers are experiencing difficulty sending messages to Yahoo.

Our engineering team continues to work on mitigation.

Customer messages may be bounced with the below error:

"This mail has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated. Yahoo requires all senders to authenticate with either SPF or DKIM."

If you're seeing this error message, please consider setting up SPF (https://support.google.com/a/answer/33786) or DKIM (https://support.google.com/a/answer/174124) for your sending domain(s).

Note that Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) records may take some time to become fully propagated in DNS and therefore the issue may persist for a little while longer after setting these records up.

We will provide an update by Wednesday, 2024-05-01 20:30 US/Pacific with current details.

We apologize to all who are affected by the disruption.

Gmail customers are currently unable to send unsigned messages to Yahoo.

Our engineering team continues to investigate.

Customer messages sent to Yahoo/AOL recipients may be bounced with the error "This mail has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated. Yahoo requires all senders to authenticate with either SPF or DKIM." If you're seeing this error message, please set up SPF (https://support.google.com/a/answer/33786) or DKIM (https://support.google.com/a/answer/174124) for your sending domain(s). For DKIM, you should set up a record for your own sending domain. You should not rely on the default DKIM key applied by Google (*.gappssmtp.com) to avoid this error.

Note that SPF and DKIM records may take some time to become fully propagated in DNS and therefore the issue may persist for a little while longer after setting these records up.

We apologize to all who are affected by the disruption.
