Yahoo Complaint Feedback Loop Setup
If you send to @yahoo.com / @ymail.com / @aol.com, CFL is the only way to know who marked your mail as spam.
- Confirm DKIM is signing every outbound message. CFL routes complaints by the DKIM
d=domain. - Visit senders.yahooinc.com and apply for CFL enrollment.
- Specify the DKIM domain(s) you want complaints for. One enrollment per d= domain.
- Provide a feedback-receiving mailbox (typically fbl@yourdomain.com). must accept and process ARF-formatted reports.
- Wait 1-2 weeks for approval. Once active, Yahoo forwards every spam-marked message as an ARF report.
- Process complaints into your suppression list within 24h. Above 0.2% complaint rate, Yahoo starts spam-foldering.

Nate built Outsolvi after watching every email-tracking tool he had ever used lie to him about opens. Outsolvi grades every open as a person or a machine, in Outlook and Gmail, so the number on the dashboard is one a rep can actually act on.
We update these pages when the underlying mechanics change. new mailbox-provider rules, new tracker behavior, new measurement gaps. The dates above are real revisions, not auto-touches.
