Hello. Our emails being sent from our asp.net application to users are being blocked by yahoo.

So I've just set up DKeyEvent SM to try to resolve this problem. But have only been able to get it to work and sign the emails by using DKIM and impersonate domain. DomainKeys does not want to sign the emails. Just says unsigned. no signature...

1. Does Yahoo care whether the email is signed by DKIM or DomainKeys, or do they treat them the same? 

2. Is there a way to get DomainKeys to work with our asp.net application? That is, rather than using DKIM, which yahoo may not be currently supporting fully, I'd rather be safe and use DomainKeys. But have not been able to figure out how to get it to work with asp.net! :(

Any help appreciated.

Yahoo currently supports only DomainKeys. They are supposedly planning on supporting DKIM in the future, but for now I think they just ignore it.

Check the FAQ and the dedicated topic. Short answer: you're probably not using SMTP auth.
