http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/groups/messages/messages-19.html Attention Hotmail and MSN users Hotmail and MSN mail users are currently experiencing delays of up to 1 day in receiving Groups messages. If delays exceed this, we may begin to not deliver older messages. We are sorry that you are experiencing delay in receiving messages at your hotmail.com or msn.com email address. Yahoo! has contacted MSN and has determined that the source of the problem resides on their end. They are aware of the issue, but do not yet have an estimate of when the problem will be fixed. We thank you for your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. ------------------------------------- Anyone know more? -Hank

Things looked better today, but past experience shows that they may get awful again in a few days. While the problem may appear to be more on our (Hotmail's) end than Yahoo's, the volume of mail being shoved at us is in no way under our control. We will continue to tweak things until they stay good. (And for those who may be wondering, neither repeated phone calls nor demands for daily meetings with our executives will resolve the problem any faster.) -- J.D.

My USA-based ISP has been reporting issues related to delivering email to Hotmail/MSN addresses, on and off for several months. I don't believe I have a single real correspondent (out of several thousand) who uses such an address, but as a long term anti-spam campaigner, who has received huge amounts of email with forged hotmail addresses, I'd be interested to hear more detail about what's really going on here. -- Roland Perry
