Wordless Wednesday - Hope For Tomorrow

Gmail VS Yahoo

You would think after several years of blogging things would get easier, but that is not the case.  Seems most bloggers I comment to use gmail to receive notification of comments left on their posts.  This wasn't a problem in the past, at least not that I was aware.  Now, when I leave a comment, I receive an email notification of "failure".  It looks something like this:

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

johnqblogger @ gmail dot com

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain gmail.com
by gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. [74.125.129.26].

The error that the other server returned was:
550-5.7.1 Unauthenticated email from yahoo.com is not accepted due to domain's
550-5.7.1 DMARC policy. Please contact administrator of yahoo.com domain if
550-5.7.1 this was a legitimate mail. Please visit
550-5.7.1 then it has a link to google support, to learn about DMARC
550 5.7.1 initiative. ej4si4370299pbb.254 - gsmtp

I have no clue how to fix this, but if you are noticing certain regular bloggers aren't showing up in your comments, I suggest you check your spam folder, or, you can go to "Comments" on the blogger dashboard to see what has been posted to your blog that you may not have seen.  If you moderate your comments, you may need to check often, or the unmoderated comments will linger in limbo.  I'm also hearing that Yahoo isn't the only email that this is happening to.


This is what my inbox looks like now.  It is so frustrating!
