My yahoo group keeps sending the same message out repeatedly. I don't know why and I don't know how to stop

I'm the moderator of the group. I accidently sent out today's post twice, but it has now appeared seven times. Help!

    Duplicate Messages and Email Delivery

    We're aware of the duplicate message bug that has been affecting groups today and are working to resolve the issue (a side effect of this bug is that some messages are also being delayed). We have actually pushed two fixes already, but we are aware that some groups are still experiencing the problem and that more needs to be done to fully resolve the issue.

    There is, however, one silver lining to this bug. It was the result of our latest system updates intended to improve email delivery speeds. So once the bugs are resolved, we should see a significant reduction in the time it takes to deliver messages to Yahoo! Groups members.

    We will update this blog entry as soon as we have more definitive information on the status of this issue.

    Thank you and our apologies for any inconvenience caused by the duplicate messages.

    The Yahoo! Groups Team

    P.S. It would be helpful to get reports of duplicate issues if your groups are still experiencing the problem with messages posted (not received) after 8:00 pm PST. If so, please add a comment to the bug letting us know the name of your group and the message numbers of the duplicate messages. Thanks!

    All groups is doing this.

    Something is wrong with Yahoo

    I have received the same message 15 times now.

    My own posts in my groups are doing the same thing.

    Yes, it is happening in groups I am member of too.

    Guess they must be aware of it by now, and will fix it soon.
