I have been encountering problems with my hotmail account
being selectively slow in receiving email from Yahoo
groups. Via another email address I know Yahoo groups are
working, but for some reason hotmail will not accept Yahoo
groups' messages in a prompt manner. I have had some
messages delayed up to 5 days! Otherwise, hotmail seems to
be fine? Some minor delays hear and there, usual server
batching maybe.

With Yahoo to Hotmail there is no user ISP. Maybe routing
issues between the two?

Maybe Hotmail has issues with some other servers? If you
have some thoughts, I would like to hear more. Thank you.
