Failure in Alerting: Why could not I send a mail from Yahoo to ALL MY CONTACTS?
I got an information about some probable hack through a mail that comes just with a link without a subject. I wished to alert my contacts (in my Yahoo Mailbox) by sending them (around 500 odd) the following mail:
"Subject: MAIL WITH JUST A LINK??? - THEN IT IS NOT FROM ME!!
Message:
Dear Sir/ Madam/ Friends,
Few of you might have recieved some mail "FROM ME" without any Subject and with just a link to somesite.
If you had recieved something like that Or will recieve So, KINDLY NEVER CLICK ON THE LINK!!
That may lead to account Hacking probably through a Virus.
Had you clicked such link in any time before, you might also be a victim.
Had you ever clicked such Link, I Highly Recommend you to Perform a Boot Scan or Scan Under Safe Mode."
But, When I clicked the send Button, Yahoo Mail displayed the following Error Message:
"Your message was not sent.
Suspicious activity has been detected on your account. To protect your account and our users, your message has not been sent.
If this error continues, please contact Yahoo! Customer Care for further assistance.
We apologise for the inconvenience."
I tried resending the mail. Next Time, a captcha was shown and I filled it correctly!! Yet again, the same Error Message repeated.
I tried again. Each time though I fill the captcha Correctlt, the attempt is unsucessful.
Now, My Question is Why could not I send the mail?
Is it due to some Words on the mail ?
Or Due to Huge Quantity of Contacts?

Annoying ain't it when all you're doing is sending something legit
Y mail at least the Classic version only lets you send 100 at a time. When the time lapses that you can access your mail again try 99. If not then 49. Be sure to put all the others in the BBC field
Tips to Send Bulk Mail
1. Compose and reply to mail in plain text only
Formatted mail, known as HTML mail or Rich Text, is nice and all that, but not necessary. Whenever you use formatted mail, there’s a lot of code written you don’t see that bulks up the mail and can trigger a false-flag when sent to the outbound server for delivery. If you use plain text, the worry of a false-flag for this reason is eliminated completely.
2. Don’t attach any files to your mail (and this includes images in email signatures)
I’d have to say this is the #1 reason an outbound mail server would put a stopper on your outbound mail. Attached files of any kind is something outbound servers have never ‘liked’, and if you can avoid attaching files for outgoing mail, so much the better.
While true that in some instances you have to attach files, things like email signatures with images (which do count as attached files) aren’t required nor necessary.
3. Don’t use an email signature – or remove it on a per-mail basis when composing or replying
People like their email signatures, but they can cause problems if the outgoing mail server is overly sensitive. If your signature contains a bunch of links (such as to your Facebook profile and other social presences on the web), that can trigger an outbound mail server’s filter.
The easiest thing you can do is to only use your signature for new emails, and selectively delete them for replies and forwards.
Alternatively, you can change your signature to contain a single link instead of a bunch. For example, instead of having your Facebook profile, Flickr profile, Windows Live profile and so on all as separate links in your mail signature, create a single profile over at about.me, then use your about.me profile as the single link in your signature.
4. Keep your mail all-text whenever possible, meaning no links to other sites
Similar to what happens when you include links in an email signature, the same can be said for the body of the message. If you don’t need to link to any other place on the web, then don’t. The less links are there, the less chance the outgoing server will false-flag it.
5. Don’t include the quoted text when replying unless it absolutely needs to be there
Just about everyone includes the quoted text when replying to a message. However in most instances it doesn’t even need to be there. Unless it’s absolutely required to have the quoted text there on reply, remove it, type up your message and send.
Final notes
It’s not required that you have use email this way, but rather only in the instances where the outbound mail server is giving you grief, so to speak. If (or should I say when) the outbound server starts giving you a hard time, follow the 5 easy steps above and you should be able to keep the mail flowing with no problems.
