Re: apparent sudden cessation of group traffic   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1555 of 2219 |
Hi--

I noticed this situation for myself a few days ago, and so I started tramping
around in Yahoo's "My Groups" pages, and noticed a message I wasn't familiar
with, saying something to the effect of my e-mail address (which is *not* a
Yahoo address, btw) had been marked as "bouncing", which condition does cause
the sudden cessation of activity in my in-box from *all* the Yahoo groups to
which I belong.

Well, I called my ISP to inquire about "whitelists", and now I end up being able
to specify e-mail domains I will -- and will not -- allow to get through to my
in-box (at the ISP).

Then, I had to flail around in Yahoo's "My Groups" pages until I located the
page which allows me to request Yahoo to send a "trial" e-mail to my address,
which, if I get it, then I may click on the URL contained therein to have my
address restored to "clean" status (i.e., not bouncing), and, therefore, I began
to receive messages again.

Anyway, I apologize that I can't offer precise "go here then here then here"
directions, because it's been several days since I did the stuff.

Also, know that there's a great ugly Javascript worm running around Yahoo right
now. From all reports, it's a particularly clever and pernicious beastie, so it
may be several days more before it's figured out and contained.

Anyway, that's my recent experience.

Take care!
