ATT is my Internet provider. ATT does not provide e-mail even though
they have .att, sbcglobal.com (or whatever). When you subscribe to
ATT e-mail you wind up with Yahoo as the actual e-mail provider along
with the Yahoo e-mail servers. I do not like Yahoo and I will agree
with Attia's experiences and comments. When I've called Yahoo they
treat me like I'm an idiot. My Internet connection from ATT is fine
and seldom has problems, however, the e-mail is unreliable. About a
year ago Yahoo told me,"if you want reliable e-mail service you
should get your own servers and do it yourself, you should not be
depending on Yahoo for business e-mails." I've taken them to heart
and have done that via the hosting company that hosts my website
www.biwa.cc My only dilemma is that I cannot take my e-mail address with me.

If you are using yahoo as your webmail, change! quickly!
As someone who has been administrating quite a few mailinglists for years,
i can tell you that no other free mail provider was so difficult to work
with as yahoo. It is basically impossible to resolve any problems
with them. They don't read your emails, they reply with canned junk
after letting you wait for a couple of days, and treat you like you are an
complete idiot who has been using a computer for the first time... even if
you tell them that you are a system administrator in each and every mail...
Heck! Even hotmail in its worst times has never been this bad!

PS: the problem is most likely that yahoo thinks that this mailinglist
is sending spam, thus rejects the mails from half of their mail servers
(yes, only half!). Most mailinglist solutions react badly to such a treatment.
