I too have had issues with Vadesecure.
I have 2 old Yahoo email accounts, that are set to forward any emails to
1 of my 2 main Earthlink accounts. (at a cost of $12 / year !)
Apparently because of the way Yahoo formats the header of the forwarded
message, VS sees it as a possible scam. (Even though the message arrives
in my EL account, it shows the Yahoo address in the To: field. VS didn't
like that, and would bounce the email back to Yahoo.  I only saw the
bounces if I web-mailed into the Yahoo account.

This was a couple years ago, and I think I complained to both Yahoo and
EL enough that something was changed, and I have been getting the
forwards OK.  (Did also change as many senders as I could from Yahoo to
EL early on in this issue, so not so many forwards now.)
