Yahoo Woes
(Detour from normally-cheerful ColorJoy posts…)
My brother (the Internet Support guru) tells me I’m not the only one… but Yahoo can not seem to send me mail. They keep turning off my account for Yahoo Groups. They say my mail is bouncing.
Never mind I’m listmom for two (relatively inactive) lists… and that as far as I can tell, everyone else seems to be able to send me mail just fine. I’m frustrated.
It started August 19. I have had to reactivate my account approximately every other day since then. As I said, Eric/bro told me that Yahoo is having troubles. It doesn’t help that I changed servers for my domain around that time as well. That makes it harder to pinpoint the trouble.
At least the blog is stable, as is your support.
(I’m also in the process of writing a post that is optimistic and happy, I promise that will be up soon…)
To make this post more palatable, I’m including a photo I took last Saturday at MSU. It was taken just south of the intersection of Farm Lane and Mt. Hope Roads, facing northwest. This area is being turned back into a wetland, and it sure is looking good. What a glorious, beautiful day it was!

Do you have a different email address you could use just for groups, then have whatever address that is forwarded to your main address? A weird workaround, but it might help.
Once you’re logged into your Yahoo Group page, go to Edit Membership (in the title bar), then under Email Addresses there’s a link to Add New Email Address. Add the address, then select it as the one to send group messages to.
Another idea – Do you have email filters set up to sort incoming mail into different folders? Maybe you could create a YahooGroups folder, then tell it to send anything To: Yahoogroups.com into that folder.
Don’t know for sure if they’ll work or not but might be worth a try.
