Comments on: Yahoo outages frustrate some users

Intermittent e-mail and instant-messaging outages over Tuesday and Wednesday leave some consumers out in the cold.

Very Slow Mail Delivery

But also there have been multiple e-mails I have never gotten from addresses outside the Yahoo network.

Feb 2008 Yahoo problems

Outbound messages that use the SMTP server have experienced MAJOR delays since at least Feb 8, 2008! Yahoo is well aware & "is working on the issue".... Been a week now.

If you MUST send a email thru Yahoo, do it from the Yahoo website- there is no delay using that direct route.

Better, but NOT fixed

Well, Friday nite 2/15/08 Yahoo sent me an email that their outgoing mail via smtp server problem was fixed- NOT so! It appears that outgoing messages are getting caught up, but my messages from 2 hours ago are STILL not sent out yet. Yahoo: 'Fess up & ADMIT your problem! And FIX it!

Hi. From India. Experiencing what seems sorta denial of service attack for last 3 hrs with Yahoo Mail and other services: doesn't allow login - not even with a new, reset password! Anybody else experiencing this? I have been an avid Yahoo user for 12 years now and its never been this bad - ever before! Not sure if this is India geography specific right now or its global.

It's a bigger problem than that. We've been without email for 8 days. Each time we've been told that there is an outage that affects multiple regions and that the Yahoo! folks are working on it. We had to create a new account since our account is suspended and hasn't let us send or receive emails during the entire outage. I'm shocked that this hasn't gotten more press.
