Sorry to trouble y'all with this, but earlier today I was told my 
messages were getting "bounced."  I went to groups and reactivated my 
accounts, but I am still not receiving my email from my groups.  Do 
y'all have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kristi

Me:
Kristi, I am a moderator for a couple of lists and I have taken care of the bouncing lists on both of them. Lately I have noticed a trend in the people who are being placed there. Most of them are Yahoo email users and of those a good portion of them are "Hard" bouncing. I have looked at the error messages that Yahoo sends to Yahoo Groups and the majority of the messages say that the "relay was denied". Because of this I have come to the belief that it is a problem with Yahoo email accounts. I have contacted Yahoo about this problem, but past communications to them have never been responded to, so I don't know if I will ever get an answer, but at least the problem has been brought to their attention. 

The only advice I can give you is to wait just a little while longer to see if your mail service will resume and if not I would suggest that you contact Yahoo about this. Another thing is, since this seems to be a Yahoo problem, I would not rule out the possibility that you end up on the bouncing list again. So periodically you might want to check your status by going to your "My Groups" page http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups/ and check there. It should give you a warning if your email address is bouncing.
