Knowing how MTAs attempt to resend and also perform PTR lookups
(reverse DNS) during the early phases and how DNS caching/failover
works are keys.  This isn't the 1980s.

That said, the statement could be an intentional oversimplification of
initial symptoms and the real cause may be more elusive or more
complex.

Consider what the reason is, be it technical (poorly formed message
that doesn't flow onto the list/archives well, Yahoo! being
notoriously strict and declaring how the world must operate) or
political/personal.

Patrick, the delays to our Yahoo! accounts were definitely technical
in nature.  Your Yahoo! account was not the sole one affected and my
theory is that delivery to all Yahoo! operated domains was delayed.
The precise origin is probably still under investigation.
