I should have senntt tthis message this way. Ernie-83pt40 in Texas
From Yahoo as to why we're not receiving mail....
Hi Folks,Should have posted this earlier, but I wanted
to let everyone know That we are aware of the delays
in email delivery that are affecting Many groups right
now. The problem is not related to any of the Database
and hardware work we were doing earlier in the year.
Rather, the primary cause is the "My Wife virus
(http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_138027.htm ), which
has caused a Huge spike in the number of emails sent
to Yahoo! Groups. This spike Has gone beyond the
capacity of our current systems to handle, which Is
causing the delays in email delivery. We have already
taken two steps to address the issue, which has Begun
to reduce the number of delays: - We are dropping
(I.e. Not delivering) all outgoing email that Includes
the virus (in other words, we are not sending infected
Messages to groups).- We have added additional server
capacity And we are planning to increase that capacity
even more. However, Until the virus has fully played
itself out or more ISPs have taken Steps to reduce the
amount of email they are sending to us (by Dropping
messages that contain the virus rather than forcing us
to Do it), there may continue to be some delays. Our
apologies for any inconvenience.- GordonYahoo! Groups
