Hi, One of our list members wrote to me with a concern that he was not getting his messages from our list delivered in a timely fashion. Sometimes a response message came before the original message. In the case of the BX that could mean you'd receive the message that it was closed before the message with the offerings. He had a yahoo.com address so I suspected it was a problem with yahoo.com, not our list. I asked for private responses from others with yahoo to see if others were having problems as well and a number of you wrote to me that you were. David Pilling got a yahoo address to test it out and found that messages were often delayed. I opened a help ticket with ibiblio and they contacted Yahoo. Today I got the response that at their discretion Yahoo blocks high traffic mail servers, usually for 48 hours at a time. Ibiblio would continue to resend the message until it got delivered once the block was removed. There isn't anything ibiblio can do about this. Since ibiblio has a number of lists, it could be action on another list that would trigger a problem. If it is important to you to get the pbs list messages in a timely fashion, it is suggested that you consider getting another mail platform. One option if you wish to keep your yahoo address is to get a gmail account and have all the pbs list messages forwarded to it. I spent some time searching on gmail and found this link that explains how to do it: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/… Since we have more than 50 members of this list with yahoo addresses, if you plan to do this please just subscribe to the list with the new gmail address and afterwards send Diane or me a note (privately) or through the web contact form on the Pacific Bulb Society page that you wish to unsubscribe under your old yahoo address or you wish to set it to nomail so you won't get double messages. Then you could still post from the yahoo address. That will save us a lot of time from having to go in and change addresses one at a time and then check later to make sure the changes go through since those require confirmation from the recipient. If you are in no hurry to get pbs list messages, there is no need to change. Mary Sue pbs list administrator
