I suspect it is Yahoo only accepting certain amounts of mail from certain hosts at the same time. I know AOL used to do this. Another term is throttling. They slow down how many messages get through per connection. I'll bet some turned it on at yahoo. seeing that probably a good 100K messages goto yahoo per day... they see this as spam or a type of spam. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
