Are there Message Quotas?


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I¡¯ve been uploading Yahoo Archives to a new ?group as small batches of Messages.
Each message is a few hundred kb in size.
I¡¯m the Owner of the Group.

Yesterday I¡¯d posted about 15 such messages, around 5Mb in total, when my email program refused to post to ?any more.?
The same server would post to anywhere else but.

After a break of some hours, I managed to get another few messages through before it locked-up again.
Nor could I post from an email alias, nor as a different member with a separate email address.

Are there quotas on how many messages one can post in a given period??
Or is it me??
My computer??
My email provider¡¯s server?
?in overload??
Does my own Group think I¡¯m spamming it?

I¡¯ve been at this over six hours, desperate to get it done before I need to go off grid, and I¡¯m ground down!

Suggestions, please - I¡¯ll clutch at straws,

Thanks, David 1/2d


 

David,

Are there quotas on how many messages one can post in a given period?
There is, or was, a rate limit of 40 messages in 30 minutes.


It is possible that the limit has changed since then, possibly in response to the great Yahoo migration.

Nor could I post from an email alias, nor as a different member with
a separate email address.
That's interesting. Maybe there's more to your symptom than just Groups.io's rate limiter.

Thanks, Shal,

That would explain why things jammed as I got slicker at cutting and pasting.

But not why the problem carried on hour after hour, or why the alternate member was affected.
(Though I notice that another Forum product (Tapatalk) treats all members using the same computer as clones, viz if Dad is a Moderator, all his kids become Moderators too, which is plum crazy.)

That's interesting. Maybe there's more to your symptom than just 's rate limiter.
