Yahoo Mail not sending messages?

Yahoo Mail is not sending my messages. The last ten messages I have sent have not arrived at the destination e-mail. This has been the case for at least the past several hours. I have tested it with several e-mail addresses and domains. I even sent a message to myself and I did not receive it in my Inbox. Any idea what might be causing this and how I might solve it? I have contacted customer support but have not gotten any response as of yet.

    Getting a "message not sent" notice every time I try to send a mail. Sometimes takes 3 attempts to send it. Any ideas? Or should I just leave yahoo?

    None of my emails are sending. I keep getting an error saying that I'm sending 'spam' even though I'm getting in contact with a client and fellow workers?

    The messages I appear to send today by hitting Send disappear, not even saved in draft. Can anything be done to resolve this?

    I sometimes use my Yahoo Email for business and eems that if you send more than a few (more than a dozen or two) Emails a day it just freezes and wont attach any files to a draft or send the email.

    yahoo is consistently failing with 'sending' messages. if it takes me longer than 30s to compose and click send i might as well give up or copy the msg and repaste in a new composition and click send immediately. immediately. or just use gmail.

    I am in the same boat. There seems to be a few emails on this board about it. What is going on Yahoo? I can get email but not send???

    Yup... I hit send from Macbook pro and no response...I can't open sent or draft sections either.

    I get getting asked to change my passwords but didn't you ALREADY have me do that a month back?

    I will be gone too, unless they fix this and leave me the frank alone....

    Why is Yahoo Mail not sending, but dumping outgoing mail (that I think has been sent) into my drafts folder? Sheesh - just found 6 e-mails there I thought I had sent over the last couple days!
