What seems to be happening is one's ISP delivers the message to Yahoo  
but Yahoo fails to finish the transaction but accepts the message  
anyway. So your ISP isn't told the message was accepted so it backs  
off its timer and resends the message again later when the whole  
process repeats. Each message's repeat interval depends on the ISP it  
is sent from.

This has happened before.
