Yahoo! Improves email!

"While we were working on an improvement to our email delivery systems, email delivery was inadvertently suspended for some members of some groups," admits the company. "Unfortunately, while messages posted to affected groups during this time were saved to group archives, the messages cannot now be delivered via email."

But the answer is simple, say Yahoo! Boffins. "You may want to suggest that your members resend any messages they had sent between yesterday afternoon and this morning, if they want to ensure they are read by other members."

The delivery glitch was the result of human error, and because it didn't affect every group, it delayed the discovery of the problem and fixing it, admit the embarrassed experts, who will no doubt be pleased to know that numerous users have reported that only legitimate mail was affected and that deliveries of spam continued as normal. µ
