Autoresponder for You

There are many groups that have had to be abandoned because the owner went missing (AWOL), and Yahoo won’t let anyone else take control. They just say “create a new group and move, the old list will die off.” But they don’t die, the unmoderated spammers keep them alive.

This is stupid. It leaves unused groups wasting space and bandwidth. It makes it harder to find useful groups, since no one can change the old group’s page to let people know where the new one is.

There is no good reason for this. It’s understandable that Yahoo wants to protect owners from having their group hijacked, but there’s a simple solution for this: If the owner’s email bounces, then Yahoo should allow another member of the group to become its new owner.

Yahoo doesn’t need to do this for all lists, only when someone asks for a group to be fixed. Yahoo can always post to a list that deletion is being considered, so that any list members who disagree can speak up.

Thanks for doing something about this.

This seems to happen mostly on groups that I have set to receive Individual Emails. They do not go into spam, I’m not bouncing, I’m not set to no Email, but I do not receive back any of the email posts that I send out. I get everything else.

I am a member of quite a few yahoo groups. I noticed I was not getting mail, nor were my posts going through. I went to email preferences to reactivate my account, and now it says normal, not bouncing. But…I am still only able to get messages from certain groups. I still have 30 groups that it says I am still bouncing, but my preferences say I am not. What do I do now???

Now I am getting emails from my other groups at a different email address. But for the three groups I am on with this address I am not getting any emails. How do I fix this?

I clicked the “Leave Group” button, and it said I successfully left, and now if I visit the group page, it only gives me the option to “join”. I also sent a blank email to the group-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com email, and it bounced back saying I’m not a member. But I’m still getting emails. How can I stop this?

In the last couple of days, messages by myself and another member have been rejected because they supposedly contain a virus. The other members was marked as potentially spam and put into a pending list, but mine just bounced. I know for a fact that my email client sends only text so couldn’t contain a virus.

I have a Yahoo group, and one of the members (who has a Gmail account) automatically forwards specific emails he receives to the Yahoo group email, but those messages are always rejected. Why?
Yahoo admin panel says that user is rejecting messages and that that is the reason why emails are not sent. But in the configuration everything looks ok… the person’s subscription is ok. I don’t know if what is the problem, but could it be the filters option in Gmail? Because the rejected messages are the one automaticall forwarded when a specif subject matches the filter config in Gmail.

Freecycle is a great idea but individual emails are cumbersome. I would like to see a Yahoo-Freecycle partnership where web pages can be available for people to post their free items in categories that lead to individual postings. It should be moderated still. I think this requires some HTML-Web design savvy. Presently it is cumbersome to read postings email by email.

I sent a few to many messages to one of my groups, and Yahoo put me on autoresponder. Can someone give me a link to the Yahoo help site so I can get myself off of it? I can’t find it anywhere.
