Answer 1

I am having the same problem with my gcronline mail address which I used for over 5 years for my groups.  Yahoo customer service care center says and I quote:  their new spam filter is giving off false postives and is treating the emails as spam and not letting them go thru.  They said that they don't know why the new spam filter is doing this but the moderators/owners of the groups can go in and approved the messages that the spam filter is catching as not spam and let them thru and if it continue to be a problem, they can turn it off.  It continues to be a problem and I don't know why yahoo can't see that it continues to be a problem and uninstall the thing and get a new one.  They also says we should be patience that all new technology has errors.  Every time I sent a messages to one of my groups, I have to notify the moderator/owner that I sent it and then they go in a approve it.  It is getting pretty annoying.  I sent a letter this morning to Mr David Filo, one of the co-founder of yahoo and explained to him what is going on.  I doubt he will do any thing (if it even gets to him) but It felt good to tell him what I thought (in a very nice way) of their new spam filter

Answer 2

Your messages may be getting caught in the group's spam filter.  If the group owner/moderator does not check the spam folder, your messages would remain until they are automatically deleted from it.  You would not get any response from Yahoo on this action.

I suggest that you go to the group online and post your messages directly on the group site.  You could also post a message on the site for the group owner to be made aware of your problem.

One other thing, if you are using a computer at work, the network's email server may not allow anything Yahoo related to go through.  This happens a lot in a work environment.
