Does anyone know the difference between a "Soft" bounce and a "Hard" one?
I don't. But then, I haven't heard of any messages to me bouncing.
Thanks largely to spam, my usual incoming load is about a dozen messages
per download except when I make my calls a couple hours apart or less, or
half a day apart or more. Seldom do my day's messages add up to a
hundred.

I'd be surprised if it were a problem with a specific mail server at
Juno. Presumably they're all pretty much the same hardware and software.
My suspicions are more towards traffic. Accounts that get hundreds per
day, or dozens per download, or a download taking an entire minute, may
be the ones giving a false indication of "mailbox full" or other reason
to bounce. This would explain why lightweights like me are not
suffering. Perhaps those who report such bounces should indicate how
much mail they typically get per day and per download.

Or maybe you didn't spread them thinly enough, or maybe Juno has a way of
recognizing that your different accounts are used by the same computer or
phone line and thus are to be treated as one user. Obviously I'm groping
in the dark like everyone else but if we share our limited information we
may be able to feel out the shape of this elephant.

An interesting question. I don't get any Yahoo lists. Of course, the
consequence of bouncing a message back to Yahoo Lists is more dire than
for other listservs, so maybe that's why others are not noticed.
