are you replying with the correct email address. I know I occasionally reply to a yahoo group with the wrong email address and get rejected.

Yes, it's a simple reply to an existing e-mail so is already set with e-mail address. Also, since I'm the group owner of these "problem" groups I'd know if the post was sitting there waiting to be rejected.

Yahoo's help page isn't very specific:

The Yahoo Mail servers are temporarily too busy. Your server should try to resend the message after a few minutes.

So more a Yaphooey problem? That makes some amount of sense since the two groups in question are newer groups and also present other non-working items. I'll have to get in the habit of responding on the group sites as that seems to work and why I thought perhaps it was on my end. Thanks!

Could there be a security setting on the groups that only allows responses from the site or from Yahoo webmail? They do seem to want to tighten things up...
