Delays in processing Yahoo! Groups emails

We are currently experiencing delays in processing email to Yahoo! Groups. We have isolated the issue and are working to repair it, at which point email delivery should catch up.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

    Quincy, IL Yahoo local groups messages are not posting to the forum as of 9:48 p.m. I noticed the problem beginning around 4:30 p.m. C.S.T. 7/24/08.

    Thank you kindly for the prompt follow up regarding my last messages, that’s more than A+ service in my opinion.

    It has been almost 24 hours since I discovered my group’s posts were not showing up. New posts now seem to be getting through to the group but about half of the backlogged posts have never appeared

    Jami my groups recent posts are showing up thanks Yahoo team for being so quick :).But some posts that were sent before the problem still haven’t shown up.

    I applied for access to a new group (Project 25) last week and still haven’t received access from the group owner. I’ve also sent two emails with no replies. Could this problem with your system be the reason why I haven’t had any response? If not, is there anything that I can do to get access to this group?

    This appears to have been a problem for quit sometime. Has it ever been fixed. I am missing many membership pending messages…WHY???

    I really don’t know what I did to get banned. I would like to know so I wont do that again. I really miss being on with this group. I am so sorry for whatever I did. Please put me back in as a member. I am hoping that this was a mistake of some sort because I really dont know of anything I did wrong. Again I am sorry, please let me be a member again. Thank you so much, Donna.

    Administrator:

    Suggestion: It would be nice if comments sent by other users on this blog were reviewed before they were sent here, because I see nothing but spam and a bunch of nonsense comments right now. Is there any way you all could do this on this blog? It would really keep it neat and cleaner.

    I have been trying to join your group for days now but have not gotten any response. When I go to your sign in page It always says I have not been approved by the group. How long does this usually take, or did I do something wrong?

    Thank you for all you do for all of us, we need more groups like this, , , neighbor helping neighbor. That is what this country was founded on, the old ways are always the best.

    God bless us all!

    Hello Jami. This is not related to your post, but please assist me. A group named solmaz_giji is sending me unsolicited emails. I’m not a member of this spam group, and I want the emails stopped. Please assist. Thanks.

    Hi Jami,
    I spent some time today with your Live Chat…. As of right now they have sent my issue on to another level…. I am sending out HTML applet mail

    (An applet is a program written in the Java programming language that can be included in an HTML page, much in the same way an image is included in a page.)

    out to my Yahoo Applet group from my Windows Mail.. It is not making it to the group for some reason… Plain text mail, and non HTML Jave mail is, but not my applet mail. This is what we create in this group, and I have been doing it for a long time… The problem started Sunday July 27th…

    Any help getting my mail back to normal will be so appreciated.

    Hi,

    I applied to re-join Telgord Freecycle a week ago and I’m still awaiting approval. Is this related to the group email delay problem?

    Hello everyone,

    You will have to contact Customer Care wit your requests for help and issues with your groups: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/groups/original/general.html

    Massod Rad - you can report Yahoo! Groups Abuse here:
    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/groups/original/abuse.html

    Andy Baker - Unfortunately, this would not have been related to the issue we experienced last week.

    No emails are going in or out of my group..its been two weeks now…Tech says Engineering is working on it but no estimated date when it will be fixed…this is a real bummer. I have 940 members. This kind of problems kills a group.

  25. Sharon Atcheson said,

    August 1, 2008 @ 9:45 am

    When I look at my group under “Messages” and “Newest” many of the latest ones are missing. I can only view the recent messages from the “Home” page. Why?

    I used to be able to view all from “Messages”.

    TIA — Sharon

    I submitted a request to join a group 3 weeks ago. I had a response and I answered it but never have a confirmation back so I could get the pw and join. Can u tell me if there is a problem? I am beginning to think I won’t be able to join this group.

  27. walter said,

    August 1, 2008 @ 1:44 pm

    I thought this was ONLY for list owners/moderators.
    How did all these list members find it and post?
    Makes this almost useless.

    Wow a living breathing person who responds. I can tell I like Jami already!!

    I am moderator of Plumeria Pals. Our group is 8 years old and has 130,000+ messages. I have seen a lot over the years. GREAT that you are here Jami!

    Since we share flower pics I was wondering will the embed ever get any easier? I miss the old days before August ‘03 when you guys kept photos on the server. So much easier to compete with Garden Web for members when people could join via web and see photos in the emails.

    Thanks again for being a real person at Yahoo!!

    Scott - I don’t have an answer for you, but I will pass your feedback along to the Product Team! :)

    It really dosen’t matter what anyone says about the problems you are experiencing because if you can’t even get a response from the group moderator so you can join what is the point in having Yahoo Groups.
    the responses are beyond rediculous.

  46. Pamela said,

    August 11, 2008 @ 10:49 am

    Well this is listed as happening on July 24th, and I’m experiencing it now…August 11th. Nothing I post on the group itself or from my email address is being posted. The number count at the top of the page changes but the posts don’t get posted. I tried to contact the Tech department and when I varifyed my email address it keeps telling me it’s wrong. I’ve copy and pasted..written it… done everything I can and it still says that…This is the biggest complaint I have w/Yahoo…You can never get to the people you need to to help with problems…Namaste!
