Hi Iain,
You can put the blame fairly and squarely on Freeserve for
being "thrown off" Freelists. And you will not have been
the first. Along with one or two other UK ISPs, Freeserve
are well known for taking their servers completely off-line
without activating and form of backup server.
The lists are set to something like 10 hard bounces before
they automatically remove someone. By "hard bounce", I
means where a response like, "not known at this domain" is
returned.
This is usually enough, but on busy lists, if the outage
extends beyond a few minutes, it can trigger, so I'll see if
there's a way of raising the threshold.
George.

While we are discussing the problems of bouncing
Yahoogroups, I think it should be said that at least
yahoogroups doesn't unsuspend you from your group. On a
number of occasions I have had to rejoin Freelist groups
because for some reason I have been thrown out. In my view,
this is even worse than what happens with Yahoogroups.

Yes I know what you mean! I suffered with this for
a number of years. You will I'm afraid just have to learn
to live with it to a large extent. I have heard it said
that one way of stopping it is to go to Yahoogroups website
and change your password there. I fount that it does work
to a greater or lesser extent, but you will never get rid of
the problem entirely. My ISP changed their email server
last December and since then I have not experience any
bouncing mail with Yahoo, but this seems to have been the
only cure for the problem. You might want to think about a
different ISP, Possibly having Yahoo as your default Mail
Service provider might help. Other then that I cannot think
of any way of getting round the difficulty. It just seems
to be part of life with Yahoo.

Hi all
How do I go about stopping Yahoo from
bouncing my mail? For the last couple of days, I haven't
received any mail from a group that I belong to, and Yahoo
comes up with something about my mail bouncing.
I haven't explained that very well, but I
hope someone knows what I am on about.
thanks
Terry
