Whoa! Yahoo had serious problems on all of their lists last
week. Much worse than anything here. This happens with Yahoo all
the time. If you want trouble-free lists, Yahoo is not the place
to go.
What problems were these? I have had no interruptions in service at
all. I subscribe to 8 Yahoo groups and admin three.
I find that hard to believe. Yahoo was completely offline for more
than a day and no groups were getting any e-mails. This has happened
numerous times. When they got back up again every message was coming
in twice for a couple of days. They're fine for people who like to
read and post on the site, but awful for e-mail lists. It got so bad
a while back that I set up my own hosting for some of the photo
groups that used to be on Yahoo. I think they are aptly named, since
it seems to be run by a bunch of yahoos.
