I noticed a lot of "bounced" and "WaitingToRetry" statuses in my league email log for domains yahoo.com, ymail.com, aol.com, frontiernet.net?, and cox.net?, maybe some domains are blocking emails from OfficePoolStop?

Both Yahoo and AOL (owned by same company) are notorious for aggresive filters. Not sure about the others. Bottom line is that there isn't much we can do about it. We are not on any grey or blacklists, so its internal to their algorithms. One status we get from Yahoo is too many emails coming from the same domain at the same time. We've tried using the manager email in the from addr, but when we do this then Yahoo complains because too many are coming from Yahoo, I kid you not. So the best recourse is to always follow up your invites with an email from your own provider.
