Via mailing lists and Al Iverson’s Spamresource blog, Yahoo China domains (yahoo.com.cn and yahoo.cn) are no longer accepting email. Â Yahoo announced in April of 2013 they are shutting down their email services in August of the same year and advises users to create new accounts with Alibana. Â While the domains still have valid MX records, they are no longer accepting mail. Â There is no direct mapping from Yahoo China addresses to Alimail (Alibana’s email service).
When attempting to send emails to these two domains, the reject will be a “550 relaying denied” message. Â Now would be a good time to update your lists and remove any yahoo.com.cn and yahoo.cn addresses.
