Some things to keep in mind about Yahoo Groups:

If for any reason you are not receiving posts, Individual or Daily Digests, make sure you look at the following as one of these may be the reason.

1. Your email address for CHAD has changed and the one you signed up with is no longer valid.

2. Your email address is for a mail box that is 'full', you haven't checked your mail for a period of time and there is no more room for email messages, so the post 'bounces'. This can also happen if you belong to a lot of Yahoo Groups or lists and receive many messages in a day. If someone is sending you attachments with videos or photos, remember those attachments count toward your mail account's allotted quota.

3. Yahoo has 'messed up'. This can happen without any warning and generally but not always, clear up in a few days. The owner/moderators have no control over Yahoo 'messing up'. This seems to happen more often these days.

Sometimes members decide to read their email online after joining with the option to receive individual posts. So even though the member is in a bouncing status they are still reading posts and replying. After so long a time in a 'bouncing' status, the member may be removed, either by the owner/moderators or by Yahoo.

<Quote>If Yahoo! Groups determines that an email address has been bouncing for more than 6 months, we may remove it from our system.</Quote> This seems to be a random thing, some get deleted and some don't. Only Yahoo knows why!

It is our recommendation 'If you are not receiving direct emails, either Individual posts or Daily Digests but are reading posts online, edit your Yahoo Groups account to a current, valid email address.'

This will ensure you will not be removed from Computer_Help_and_Discussion.

Copied from Yahoo:

"If group messages sent to your email address are returned to Yahoo! Groups as undeliverable ("bouncing"), your Yahoo! Groups account may be temporarily disabled.

Messages can be returned for several reasons:

* Your mailbox may be full -- try deleting messages from your Inbox.
* Your ISP may have a backlog of email to process -- contact your ISP.
* Your ISP may be blocking email from Yahoo! Groups -- contact your ISP.

In many cases, Yahoo! Groups can automatically reactivate your account once the delivery problem is solved. However, in some cases you will need to manually reactivate your account:

1. Visit your My Groups page.
2. Look for a bounce alert near the top of the page.
3. Click the Alert link to reactivate your account.

Once an account is considered bouncing, Yahoo! Groups will send a series of test messages to the member. If the test messages are returned as undeliverable, then the account will continue to bounce. However, if a message is delivered and not returned as undeliverable within five days after it was sent, the account will automatically be reactivated. Members may also manually reactivate their accounts by visiting their My Groups page."
 

There are rumors that Yahoo is removing members with Yahoo email addresses if the account is 'dormant'.  If your Yahoo ID is connected to a free Yahoo email account, you need to login to read and send email at least every 60 days to prevent a 'dormant' status.

Bouncing as explained by Yahoo! This page should clear up confusion about bouncing.
