Yahoo bug is fixed; but you may have missed messages

yahoogroups posts due to the excessive volume, during the problem?
Or you (and many others) might have been forced into "bounce" status if
your mailbox size has a limit and was full due to the problem.
Bounce status is reactivated (fixed) automatically by the Yahoo
system after some days (or it can be manually fixed if you *know* you
are "bouncing" and can correct the problem.)
Bouncing just means you are not receiving Yahoo messages for some
reason unknown to Yahoo's mail servers and Yahoo is getting your mail
"bounced" back to them instead. When that happens they stop delivering
ALL your list email from ALL lists at Yahoo till they know you can
receive it without bouncing it back to them.

I've still seen the odd duplication on some lists today - which Yahoo
claims is due to delayed delivery since problem days and not due to an
ongoing problem on their side. So posts from now on *should* be normal
again - for everyone.

You will find all the posts you missed in the archives of the various
lists to which you belong, Minutus archive address being here:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/minutus/messages

[I hope I am not out of order mentioning this here, as I am not a list
owner or moderator here - I just happen to own some other lists and
monitor Yahoo list management issues. Yahoo's latest little bug mess
will have caused a lot of people to miss a lot of emails!]

Namaste,
Irene

thanks irene. my computer had crashed the other day and then
it came back to life after using the feature that set my computer to
a time about 8 days earlier--that is how far back i had to go. but the
e-mails seemed to become vary sparce for about 3 days.
i can usually see what posts are being blocked with spamblocker but
your explanation of a yahoo glitch makes more sense since it wasnt
just specific addresses blocked but almost the entire list.
