Answer 1

there always seems to be issues with some mail and yahoo- just what did the bounced back exactly say? in any event, some people have the below settings which would prevent invites to them

How can I prevent moderators from adding me to their groups or sending me invitations?

Answer 2

Hotmail sometimes bounces back messages from Yahoo and vice versa.  It would be easier to just send a personal email to those people and invite them, include the link to your home page in the email and tell them to click the "Join This Group" button to join.

Answer 3

if ur trying to get them on yahoo messenger then it's not going to work even if they have their own messenger. They actually have to get their own yahoo account and download the messenger. As far as sending them mail, make sure you have the @hotmail.com.. Otherwise idk
