Is Yahoo slow or is it the internet? I'm not getting any email from
any of my Yahoo groups.

It is balky and inconsistant. I've received private mail from people who tried to post to MMM that had them bounce, and not because of subject lines, etc. I think Yahoo is getting hit pretty hard by the sheer volume of worm-related email that is going around; I confess that even with my own protecting tools, I've not seen this level of bad mail ever before.

Cheers,
Jon

Now I think it's not just Yahoo. I'm getting email from someone sent
two days ago!

yeah, i have serious anti-viral protection on my system too,
and lately i'm getting an unbelievable amount of attempted
viruses and also huge amounts of spam. it also caused my
website to go down for a few minutes the other day.

Along you message above, I'm just now - on Sun, 2am EST,
getting my message that I posted on Fri. afternoon. Yahoo is
def hit!

My main email accout is slow, mail comes a day or two late,
yet I have another account , on Biink.com, nobody knows what it is,
that is setting records for the amount of spam it gets.
