Hi

Ive received the same message several times in the past and have
always re-activated although it hasnt been obvious to me that I
have missed any messages- I subscribe to several yahoo groups

I have also been to the Yahoo site to see what messages have been
bouncing and the impression I formed was that the messages were
not bogus, however I would be very interested to learn if I am wrong!

Im not sure where the mail is rejected - I queried my server about it
and they said it occurred before it got to them and they had not rejected
any mail.

Hope this helps
