IMHO, Yahoo has some really funky stuff going on in their email 
software.  There are messages which sporadically do not get to me that I 
will see someone reply to and I'll get that reply.  Then, when I check 
the web interface, I see that the original had gone out on the list but 
my copy failed to get to me.

Other times, I will mysteriously stop getting mail from the Yahoo lists 
I subscribe to.  At one point, I had to unsubscribe and resubscribe 
before mail started to flow again.

I suspect that if my mail server is unreachable, for any reason, that 
Yahoo will drop the message rather than spool for later delivery.  That 
is all I can figure out, network congestion, hiccup in a router, 
whatever.  The message gets dropped to me.  They are the only list 
server that does this and I subscribe to a number a lists!

Good thing I don't rely on Yahoo for anything critical (nor will I).
