[Rhodes22-list] Why is the list not posting other than to Nabble?

Yahoo has recently begun enforcing some rather strict rules about how 
people can send e-mail to their users.  In particular, mailing lists 
have been hit hard because Yahoo has imposed limits on the number of 
e-mail connections that can be made from a given host.  Most 
high-performance mail servers will sort their outgoing e-mail queue 
by destination and then attempt to deliver all outbound e-mails to a 
host at once (which seems efficient).

Yahoo's new policies subvert that processing by throwing such e-mails 
into a deferred queue.  Their reasoning is that it might be a spam 
attack and they need to control their processing load.  But the good 
guys are treated the same as the bad guys, so everybody suffers.

Don't know if that's your case Elle, but most people do not seem to 
experience the delays that you reported.  It would be good to hear 
from other Yahoo mail users on their experience with Rhodes list deliveries.

P.S. A pox on all "free" services.  Yahoo, AOL, HotMail, even the 
venerable Google will fall prey eventually.  There ain't no free 
lunch while spammers have free reign.

Cheers!
