Where are my group's message postings?

Multiple copies of posting in Yahoo Groups?

  • I posted a message to a yahoo group, and it showed up six times, and I got six copies in my inbox. I posted another message and got six more duplicates! I did notice one strange thing that may explain the problem. I've noticed that there are coincidentally SIX members of the group who are having their mail 'bounced' back to Yahoo (that's what it says on the 'Members' section of the group.) I'll bet that somehow - the 'bounced' message is getting back to yahoo and yahoo groups thinks the bounced message is another message to be posted to the group. I am able to delete the messages - so Yahoo groups thinks the postings are all from me. (I'm not the moderator, so I can only delete MY posts.) weird stuff!

    nope it's just YAHOO aka YAHELL! they are working on it though. i own several groups so hopefully they fix this soon! here's their blog. you can read more about it! XOXO Vixen! http://blog.360.yahoo.com/y_groups_team Duplicate Messages and Email Delivery We're aware of the duplicate message bug that has been affecting groups today and are working to resolve the issue (a side effect of this bug is that some messages are also being delayed). We have actually pushed two fixes already, but we are aware that some groups are still experiencing the problem and that more needs to be done to fully resolve the issue. There is, however, one silver lining to this bug. It was the result of our latest system updates intended to improve email delivery speeds. So once the bugs are resolved, we should see a significant reduction in the time it takes to deliver messages to Yahoo! Groups members. We will update this blog entry as soon as we have more definitive information on the status of this issue. Thank you and our apologies for any inconvenience caused by the duplicate messages. The Yahoo! Groups Team P.S. It would be helpful to get reports of duplicate issues if your groups are still experiencing the problem with messages posted (not received) after 8:00 pm PST. If so, please add a comment to the bug letting us know the name of your group and the message numbers of the duplicate messages. Thanks!

Can you not contact the Yahoo people maintaining the site and explain the problem?

Yahoo is having technical problems with multiple e-mails and multiple postings. They are aware of the problems and working on them!
