I’m JUST now getting responses to e-mail messages that I sent back the FIRST week of August. Does anyone know how long this has been a problem? It’s funny because I would send e-mail to folks and thought it was odd that I didn’t get a reply. This is distressing because I use Yahoo for personal business as well as just a tool to keep in touch with friends. Hate to change!

I find it curious that Yahoo! has closed their blog, which make me believe this is a serious problem for them.

Looks to me that they have just clamped down a bit on their throttling – increase retry time frame – no real way around a deferral there.. Make sure best practices are being followed

I have several mail servers with huge amounts of mail queued for yahoo, yet when I sent myself a test message to my yahoo address, it was received within seconds.

Any updates Laura on what’s going on??

Personally, I think one of their mail servers is down and the others are having trouble keeping up with the extra traffic.

I did a quick check using one of the excellent tools from DNSStuff.com and found that it couldn’t connect to one of the servers
“d.mx.mail.yahoo.com. – 216.39.53.2 [Could not connect: Could not receive data: Operation timed out.]”

I’m going to have to check my server logs now to see if I see the same thing.
