Dear Yahoo! Groups Members,

Due to a recent outbreak of computer viruses being transmitted via 
email messages, Yahoo! Groups is experiencing delays in delivering 
group messages. To improve performance, and to help reduce the spread 
of viruses, Yahoo! Groups has had to temporarily reject some 
messages. 

Based on an advisory posted by a leading anti-virus company, Groups 
will temporarily reject messages with the following subject lines: 

test 
hi 
hello 
Mail Delivery System 
Mail Transaction Failed 
Server Report 
Status 
Error 
If you have attempted to post a message to Yahoo! Groups and have 
received a rejection notice with a link to this page, your computer 
may have been infected. If you are confident that your computer is 
not infected but your message was rejected, please try posting a new 
message with a subject line which is different than those listed 
above.

We can assure you that this is only a temporary measure and hope to 
restore message delivery to normal as soon as possible. 


The Yahoo! Groups Team

So, this is why some folks are seeing delays.  Make sure your AV is 
up to date...
