Is it just us or are there general problems with sending email to yahoo in the past few weeks?
It's not you. Lots of people are seeing this, as Yahoo's mail servers are apparently too busy sending ever-increasing quantities of spam to have to accept inbound traffic. Sufficiently persistent and lucky people have sometimes managed to penetrate the outer clue-resistant shells of Yahoo and effect changes, but some of those seem ineffective and temporary. There doesn't seem to be any simple, universal fix for this other than advising people that Yahoo's email service is already miserable and continues to deteriorate, and hoping that they migrate elsewhere. ---Rsk
