None of which are any problem at all for a group member subscribed
and receiving the group messages as email, not as a Yahoo member
accessing the group through a web browser. It is not necessary for
subscribers to a group to be Yahoo members at all.
I've been running four Yahoo groups for three years. No spam, an
excellent record of service (3 downtimes in three years for 1 day
each, scheduled), and the only "intrusion" is that Yahoo puts a
trailer on each message post like so:
------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------

Yahoo! Groups Links
<*> To visit your group on the web, go to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/notagroup/
<*> To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<*> Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to:
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/
Digests only get that once, of course. List owners have extensive
control over the list parameters as well, and *someone else maintains
the servers and the software*.
Now, as I said, I really don't care what host and software Doug
chooses. It's obvious that the PDML's current host and software are
badly broken, anything should prove better.
But after working with three other list admins and looking for a home
for the Digital Users Group for several months, Yahoo groups was the
clear choice. The transition was effortless, the number of problems
since the changeover zero.

That should have been embedded advertisements.

things, because their reputation for service is so bad).

Would you like to articulate what those are? I don't care what
host is used, but this one is about the worst I've seen in a
while. Yahoo does a much better job than this.

Yes, but you get all the Yahoo problems instead...

Because of problems like these, another list I'm on recently
moved to being a Yahoo group. All the delivery problems have
disappeared.

Anything we can be doing to help out the list constipation?
I just did a quick check against the archives, I'm missing
almost 75% of the messages.
I sent one this morning and there were at least 4 responses,
all I recieved was 1 of the responses, didn't even get my
own.
Nothing is different at my end, I'm the domain owner, mail
administrator and ISP, so I'm sure of that. ;-)
