Is it bad to only sign some of a domain's emails with DKIM?

I keep getting emails like these.. this is the 3rd 1 in less than an hr. I don't have "extra" email accounts?

  • Here is a copy of the latest email: Change notification for your Extra Email address ... From: Yahoo! Mail <[email protected]> ... Add to Contacts To: [email protected] You may have been receiving emails to your Extra Email Address with other yahoo domains, even though your email address ends with @yahoo.com. In order to improve the accuracy of emails received by you in your right accounts, you will no longer be receiving emails to any other domain that you did not sign up with. You will only receive emails to your Extra Email Address: jdspcmail. Please make sure you provide the right Extra Email Addresses so you continue to receive the emails. To confirm your existing Extra Email Address: 1. In Yahoo! Mail, go to "Options," then "More Options" 2. From the menu on the left, click "Account" 3. Click "Add or edit an account" Thank you, Yahoo!

  • Answer:

    I received 2 similar messages. Each message contained different instructions. Both not with much detail or they really didn't make much sense. One had the same instruction as yours (below). It seems they left off in the middle of the instructions, such as what to do after you click on "Add or edit an account" Pinheads! ********Someone named Holygrail posted this in response to my same question. The information in the link is there, but is just about as confusing as the emails. Here's their response: "Yahoo! has changed their disposable addresses policy, so if your disposable addresses end with ".com.au", they will be changed to just ".com".

Mail, go to "Options," then "More Options" 2. From the menu on the left, click "Account" 3. Click "Add or edit an account" I sent them both to the following email address: [email protected]

I got the same. Impossible to understand. That's ridiculous... maybe they'll cancel our "extra" accounts (?what's that?). You must be a high-tech PhD from Yahoo to understand this crazy message.

It doesn't seem bogus as there are no links to click. It s a very confused statement. They are trying to say that if you have any other yahoo domains i.e. not ending in @yahoo.com then you will no longer receive them. I have sometimes received emails to me via a @yahoo.com domain rather than the one I signed up with (@yahoo.com.au). This was due to people sending them to the @yahoo.com rather than the @yahoo.com.au address This only happened occassionally and I think they're just trying to prevent this from happening, probably to allow for more yahoo addresses to be freed up for future use.

I only got one recently, chalk it up to one of the many yahoo problems (sending you multiple emails). It ms valid though VERY unclear

Yes, that is NOT a real Yahoo message, Yahoo would not ask you for your personal information in an E-mail like that. It is a scam to get your personal information and/or your money, or both! Do not respond to it. Report it, forward it to the FTC at [email protected] and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP. For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya%E2%80%A6 Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on. Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization.
