Mail forwarding suddenly stopped working

Hello,
I've been using mail forwarding for years. I've started creating a separate virtual mail address for each site login in the form of website.myname@mydomain.com with the forwarding rule that all *.myname@mydomain.com get forwarded to my yahoo account, which has allowed me to find out which sites sell their databases (or get stolen). It had been working great untill a couple of days ago.

I am now missing a lot of mails. A few have arrived very late (12+ hour delay) while others don't arrive at all.

I've made no changes, so what could be the problem?
 
Unfortunately, Yahoo is on/off, throttling, or blocking our email server IPs. If possible, it would be advised to use a different provider to direct your emails towards.

Ok, I added a gmail account to the mailmap and can confirm emails are being forwarded to the gmail account, but still thy aren't getting to my yahoo account.

Anything you can do so yahoo can starts receiving forwarded emails again?
 
We were finally able to have our case looked into by Yahoo, and the blocks on our mailmap forwarding servers were removed. We appreciated your patience while we sorted this out.
 
It seems to have been fixed, thanks. Hope it is a permanent fix.
As a bonus, I noticed that forwarded emails from some sources that I had for years been unable to convince yahoo to send to inbox (added to contacts, marked time and time again as not spam) and kept being sent to SPAM folder, are now finally reaching my inbox folder.
