Hi Jeff, Thanks for the response,
inre your comments about YahooGroups unresponsiveness... if I could provide you with a contact at YahooGroups would that make things easier for you? I am co-owner of one of the 'help' lists and we have several YahooGroups representatives who participate - I'm pretty sure I can get a contact for you. About the 50k limit... any way you can give me an idea of how many YahooGroups messages might be bounced for that? Or perhaps the list names which routinely exceed that limit? I know that most of the messages on the lists that I have archived at Mail-Archive (several dozen lists between YahooGroups and Topica :)) would fall into the 2-4k category but there might be others with larger sizes, I could try to contact those.... As far as your dissatisfaction with the Yahoo service... I can agree :) I much preferred the setup when it was Onelist. I had a one-on-one relationship with the support management, things went downhill with the eGroups merger and now the YahooGroups merger :( Thanks for the response, John T PS: if you have any comments you would like for me to share with the list owners on my ListHelp list please feel free to let me know. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Breidenbach" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, August 04, 2001 1:18 AM Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bouncing ? > > > > Seems that [email protected] has been bouncing for the past few weeks.... > >maybe longer, since it looks like someone has reset it a few times :) > > Mail-archive is bouncing any mail over 50KB by policy.
