I suspect a transient issue with Yahoo's servers. Back when I was hosting
Mailman 2 lists on my server, some of the people on one of my lists were on
Yahoo's servers (@yahoo.com, @aol.com, @netscape.net, @verison.ne, maybe a few
other domains). From time to time, all of these address would get blocked
(messages temporally delayed). Yahoo's servers would refuse e-mail list
messages for a while (hours, days, maybe for a week), and then the messages
would start being accepted and after a few hours, days, maybe a week, the
pending queue would be flushed. And then at some future time it would happen
again. Not really much that I could do. Except suggest that people switch to
another E-Mail provider...
Note: Yahoo has gone rather downhill for the past while. Yahoo groups went
totally south, causing a mass exidus to groups.io. Verizon bought Yahoo and
then sold Yahoo's E-Mail service to a holding company. (We we have heard on
this group all about what has happened to Yahoo's securities service...)
Having worked a few queues in my time, it makes me wonder how they
resolve errors. Do they actually resolve the error(s) and re-queue the
messages or do they simply delete the message(s) in error to allow the
messages to flow again? I lost all the emails from the time they
stopped until they started again. I suspect the latter.
I've had my yahoo email account since 2013 and this the first time I had
this issue that I am aware of. I do recall suspecting I missed 1 or 2
random messages in the past. If it happens again I will seriously
consider switching to another email provider.
