Okay, still don't have it 6 hours later. Grandpatroll, can you just post the saves from here on out instead of emailing? For some reason saves over a certain (undetermined) size that you send don't make there way to me for many hours ...

Thank you Not sure why it happens, only seems to be emails with attachments, and not all of them. But every Exp., and every time you've sent me a succession game ... hmm. Odd... oh well.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

I'm pretty sure it's not on my side, grandpatroll. I have broadband, and regardless of that it's not on the server - mail.yahoo.com would report it existing, even if Eudora didn't (and eudora downloads saves in a few seconds, even for "Huge AU succession game" which is huge literally). I've never had this problem with anyone else, either - and I play about as many games as you do.
It seems most likely to be on your mail server's side (rr.com) probably not handling large attachments quickly, perhaps specifically with yahoo, to save bandwidth or processor speed. Some mail servers, including Yahoo! and Hotmail, do this as well, but usually for those it's only a few minutes or maybe a half hour, because they're so large that there is less of a "spike" effect. With a smaller mail server, perhaps it's simply more likely, or they have an intentional setup to only distribute large attachments every few hours?<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

I have about as many games going as you do..(ooppss you said that already didnt you?) and one other person has your problem..and I send and get back quickly..to Paddy..to Beta to P REX and many otherrs on CTP some times so quick it would make your head spin
so I dun know if your email box needs to be bigger?
or maybe pull the string tighter?
for real..maybe move the rabbit ears closer to the window?Hi, I'm RAH and I'm a Benaholic.-rah

I doubt it ... I have 2GB storage from yahoo, and delete after 30 days, so I'm not going to hit that anytime soon Is the other person you have the problem with also @yahoo.com? If so, then I'd guess it's a specific conflict with your email server and yahoo. If it's hotmail or another "major" mail server, then it's probably your mail server low-prioritizing major freemail servers ... if it's something totally different, then i'm just ...<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

Hmm. One interesting test:
Can you send a couple of saves in separate e-mails to my three different email addresses simultaneously - I'll send you email with the email addy's CC'ed. Just to see where the holdup is...<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

Hmm, sluggy.net worked after all. Surprised, it wasn't working before. Anyhow, it got there first (got there right away i think, both of them). So it's something specific to yahoo, sort of - didn't get through from civilization3.com either ... weird.
I wonder if yahoo keeps a list of servers it doesn't like (spam servers, or similar)? That could explain it, if your mailserver had made it to that list somehow (often by being spoofed by others) ... I didn't think they did, rather relying on spamguard(r) to block it, and if they did I thought it 100% blocked the emails rather than trickling through ...
Anyhow, my gmail.com address is linked to my eudora now, so try sending to that from now on - it hopefully won't have this problem (my nick at gmail)<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.
