Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Receiving messages from Yahoo

Thanks for the information. The same thing has happened to me twice so far.
Suddenly no yahoo groups email until I get an email from yahoo informing me
that my provider has been refusing messages and to reply to the current
email to resume new mail delivery. I had thought it was my email account
delaing with all traffic not just yahoo. I have SBC's DSL and the cost to
change service providers would be prohibitive. I don't think this is OT
since it affects the functioning of the message board itself. Just my
opinion.
