I am subscribed to three admittedly dorky Yahoo groups, but as of eight days 
ago I can't receive email from them. My account is set to send email, and it 
isn't bouncing. It may be no coincidence that eight days ago I installed 
IE7. I didn't like it and went back to Deepnet, but remain suspicious. For 
once, Google isn't my friend.

Can you read your yahoogroups via the yahoogroups sites?  And are you 
subscribed to the groups using virgin.net?  For some years (and I mean 
at least 2 of them) I've had to abandon using my everyday email to read 
yahoogroups via email.  Yahoo just bounced ntlworld no matter what I 
did.  I had to subscribe to yahoogroups via my yahoo a/c and as I think 
its rubbish for every day use I read the relevant groups via their web 
site - which is probably nearly as bad as googlegropes.

Otherwise I dunno, Steve.

Sincerely Chris

as a postmaster, i hate yahoo really quite vehemently.  (hence also
btinternet and all its aliases.)

so it may be that your isp has finally flipped on yahoo, and started
picking off the odd address.  someone doing that would surely choose
the dorky addresses first (i think -- i'm not 100% sure i understand
what you mean).

Yes I can and yes I am. Back in the ntl days Yahoo used to bounce me 
regularly, but that doesn't seem to be what's happening now.
