Yes. I am on a shared server. It seems that Yahoo picks up on the fact that this is going to multiple recipients (apparent 5+ raises the flag). Since I am on a shared server, it appears that my option for personalization is turned off. If I understand correctly, personalization might overcome the Yahoo problem but might cause a problem with my host if my list was a large one. That may be an easier fight.
Thanks,

I doubt any web hosting company is going to enabled personalization on a shared server environment. I know we won't. It is just too large of a resource hit.
I also am not seeing this magic number (5) triggering Yahoo's response in my observations of our mail logs. I think people are just speculating when they try to find out why Yahoo is delaying their mail.

The "5" limit comes from a Yahoo page, http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/postmaster-277515.html
