Because a group message sent to your email address was returned as undeliverable (“bouncing”). One common reason is that your mail box is full. When your account is disabled, any message you send will be rejected; later Yahoo Groups will try to see if your address is still bouncing messages. After a few unsuccessful tries they will send you a message with a link. When you reply to the message or click on the link, your account will be reactivated shortly.

- August 7, 2013: Yahoo! Groups who host our mail lists rolled out a web-interface redesign named “neo”. Many users have taken to the Help Forum to voice their dissatisfaction with this change, particularly in regards to lost features. It has been reported that “46,000 people had clicked on the vote button to demand a return to the ‘prior format that WORKS!'” Yahoo representatives have started to address a small number of the complaints that have been voiced. As a result of the changes resulting from the “neo” interface, some items in this section were no longer valid. Several have been updated and we are striving to update the remainder. If you find something on this page needing attention, go to Help. Sometimes Yahoo Groups changes/relocates how/where to do things without updating the associated Help page. If you run into that, look for a gear shaped icon and click it. Often times you can find where to make your account change.

This change also affects how you reply because if you use the From address, your reply will be sent to the mail list, not the person who sent the message. For how to reply information go to the Replying to Messages section, Click here.
