What the experts say6Expert opinions
Expert from Email Geeks mentions clients can get FBLs from domains not handled by Yahoo due to DKIM-based FBLs, and she doesn't understand why the client is objecting.
Expert from Email Geeks says that it's not possible to get a list of all domains using Yahoo! Feedback Loop, unless Yahoo publishes it. She explains that domains that MX to Yahoo is a simple but not complete way to find a list, but there used to be thousands of domains that Yahoo let people get addresses at.
Expert from Email Geeks explains that logging and unsubscribing based on FBL complaints is effectively required, even without a published list from Yahoo. Failure to do so can damage sending reputation and lead to deliverability problems. He refers to his blog post which may provide a close-as-possible list, although not 100% accurate. Yahoo doesn't publish a list and may not forward all FBL complaints.
