Yahoo had problems a week or so ago, temporarily deferring mail
for a lot of academic institutions and other businesses. At work
we had mail queues of several hundred messages waiting for three
or four days to be delivered. During this some other university
mail admins reported that Yahoo's internal delivery systems were
also having problems with multiple deliveries, so I would guess
that this is a Yahoo issue.
