Hi Christopher,
I've not experienced your particular problem but would make you aware that,
when using my NTL (now Virgin Media) account, I had lots of problems with
Yahoogroups. I was forever being "bounced off" lists and it was obvious
that either NTL or Yahoo were responsible. Over time, I formed the view
that the former (in the main) was the culprit probably through slow servers,
blocked emails, lots of spam etc. ...
I didn't really solve the problem without signing up to Yahoogroups using a
different email address.
I trust you'll have more joy!

Hello,
I want to subscribe to a couple of Yahoo groups, but the e-mails that
I sent have got no response. So I logged on to the Yahoo groups
website, found a link to one of the groups I am interested in and
clicked on the "Join this Group" button. This took me to the page to
sign up for a Yahoo ID.
Signing up for a Yahoo ID involves the dreaded captcha, but there is
an alternative for blind/VI users, which is to send a Help message to
Yahoo. I have done this, and the e-mail which I received in reply
tells me to phone a number in the U.S.A.!
Has any of you without a Yahoo ID successfully subscribed to a Yahoo
group by sending an e-mail request during the last six months? If
yes, then I suspect that the problem is caused by my ISP Virgin
Media, (formerly NTL). If I have to set up a Yahoo ID, is there an
alternative to phoning the States?
I am already a member of two Yahoo groups and can send and receive
e-mails to and from them. However, I cannot change settings by
e-mail, such as going nomail. This started happening about six
months ago. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Christopher
