[GNC] Stopped receiving emails from GnuCash user list

[Robert Heller]

I suspect a transient issue with Yahoo's servers.  Back when I was hosting 
Mailman 2 lists on my server, some of the people on one of my lists were on 
Yahoo's servers (@yahoo.com, @aol.com, @netscape.net, @verison.ne, maybe a few 
other domains).  From time to time, all of these address would get blocked 
(messages temporally delayed).  Yahoo's servers would refuse e-mail list 
messages for a while (hours, days, maybe for a week), and then the messages 
would start being accepted and after a few hours, days, maybe a week, the 
pending queue would be flushed.  And then at some future time it would happen 
again.  Not really much that I could do.  Except suggest that people switch to 
another E-Mail provider...

Note: Yahoo has gone rather downhill for the past while.  Yahoo groups went 
totally south, causing a mass exidus to groups.io.  Verizon bought Yahoo and 
then sold Yahoo's E-Mail service to a holding company.  (We we have heard on 
this group all about what has happened to Yahoo's securities service...)
