We have been posting the following to all the email lists and I thought I would post it here too. From Yahoo, regarding yahoo!groups.

The severed cables described in the article above are affecting Yahoo!'s data connections. One consequence is that group members may find the delivery of some messages to their inbox delayed until this problem is resolved (which could be days or weeks).
This problem is likely to primarily affect Yahoo! Groups users in India but will not be limited to them. So if you suspect you're not receiving all messages that have been posted to a group, we highly encourage you to visit the group's message archive.
Thank you,

P.S. Unrelated to this issue, beginning at 3 pm (PST) yesterday there was a problem with some of the "Contact Us" links in Groups Help.
