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.

vonage is a scam?
icon1 admin | icon2 Land Phones | icon4 07 30th, 2010| icon3No Comments »


Everything Started when I decided to switch my phone provider to Vonage in june 25. I will disclosed all the charges:
1 connection fee 9.95 – when I asked if Vonage was compatible with my internet provider clearwire they said yes. And is not true.
2. When attempted to call and cancell before it was too late they promised send a wi-fi phone no charge to give a try and promise it will work. Not true it was a lie.
3. After spending over more than two hours new device worked for one hour only.
4. call to cancell only had to call in business hours their dept. that handles cancellation was closed.
5. Got an authorized charge for aprox. $66.00. Called to disputed, no help at all. Only rudness and my call was disconnected eventually by one of vonage representatives. After spending over one hour on the phone.
6. Sent an email to their corporate offices they said they do not have any records of all they promises and said I had to pay the shipping and handling to return their device and if I wanted to close account with them had to pay $95.00 for a service I was never able to use. Plus 19.30 in shipping and handling.
7. total charges 190.25 for a service I never received and bad customer service.
This company is a scam and I think all american consumers should be aware of 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.

A few years ago I wanted to buy something off of an internet shop so I put my order in and sent a check for $300. Six months later I still hadn’t received anything in the mail but my check still had not cleared. I moved away to another state and closed down that whole bank account because they did not have one where I was living. I transfered all my money over to a new bank. I never received anything, no email from the company, nothing in mail.

If they tried to cash it afterwards, it would have bounced wouldn’t it? Someone would have come after me now wouldn’t they? Did I commit a crime? I am scared to visit that state again in case I am wanted for fraud or something.

if someone sends me an email that doesn’t make any sense
is it a way to send me a bug just to hack into my computer

The emails I get never have a link or anything other than maybe a poem or such

I replied to one with my own bounce email to only receive it back as a Non address(Bounce)
I do know about message source in the in comming mail and got the addy from that

So whats with that,
I don’t see any changes in my computer to show that it is infected in any way

I am not receiving all my emails. I don’t know how long this has been going on. If I send emails to myself in my own mailbox I don’t receive them all. They are not bounced back. My husband will receive an email that was sent to me also, but I don’t receive it. Does anybody else have this problem. Also You may have this problem and not know it.

I’ve had a problem with Gmail for a long time now and was wondering if anyone out there had any idea as to what’s going on. You can’t seem to get a good answer from Gmail help so I’m not even going to bother wasting my time contacting them.

I am a member of several Yahoo groups that have had bounced messages like crazy. A lot of people blame it on Yahoo but I don’t. The reason I don’t is because I use callwave on my computer and from time to time they send me things through email. I had a message just pop up from callwave saying that they tried to contact me but the message was returned as undeliverable because my box was full. My Gmail account is only 8% full. There is no way it is full, so my question is why does Gmail like to just bounce back messages? I’ve already switched all my mail back to Yahoo but wanted to know what some of you all thought.
