Hotmail is unreachable or busy or doesn't answer a lot these days... it's 
really a headache for list-owners.  A lot of list-owners won't accept 
subscriptions from hotmail addresses for this reason.

I don't have any experience with yahoo, but it may be the same 
problem.  Busy servers, busy Internet.  Busy signals <smile>.
