The mail system
Solution:
This rejection error is not caused by Perimeter nor does the service contibute in causing this problem. Based on the error code description, MX.MAIL.YAHOO.COM is rejecting the email because the sending machine’s time settings may be incorrect (i.e. it is set 1 month in advance). Yahoo will not accept emails with a “message not allowed” error.
Note: The issue is caused by the local computer sending the email, and not by the server or email server having the wrong the time.
To resolve the issue:
- Double-click the time on the right-bottom corner of the computer.
- Check for the correct day, month and time.
- Make the necessary changes and click OK.
- Once completed, send an email to someone with a Yahoo email address. The mail shold not be rejected anymore.
