Ken/Tony,
Are you seeing the posts actually lost or just severely delayed? I noticed the
delay but I haven't seen anything lost. Egroups had some problems where I finally
got some posts over a week late but they did come through!
I don't write mailer software for a living (so you can't shoot me) but my guess is
that yahoogroups, as it is called now, is a victim of its own success. They just
can't handle the volume of posts made on all the lists. I think this is compounded
by the redelivery mechanism that their mailers use. It seems to defer delivery very
quickly and the deferred queue is not serviced very often. At least, that is what
it looks like from my observations.
I suppose you could complain to the yahoogroups sysadmins...
Eric
