During last week and over the weekend, some of you might have noticed that more messages than usual were not getting through to Yahoo. The simple reason for this is that they seem to have some issues on their side that were reducing the number of messages that they could accept at any given time.

According to Yahoo's official blog site, they were experiencing issues with their POP accounts that were being sent to Outlook, Outlook Express and others. As stated on their blog "As a result we spent the last several days not only upgrading hardware resources for our SMTP servers, but also restructuring the way the bandwidth of these servers is allocated. We are confident that this solution will not only resolve the immediate problems, but also ensure that the systems are even more reliable in the future."

Hopefully all is fixed, but one thing we have to remember as senders, the ISPs aren't perfect either--they all do their best to keep their systems up and running, but some times they run into issues as well.
