Yay yahoo (not)

[netmouse]

As the main email/list administrator for Detcon1, I just started seeing warnings from my list server that it is unsubscribing list members due to excessive bounces. Looking at the bounce messages, I see the bounce is because Yahoo is not accepting the message for policy reasons.

We knew Spam would start to be a real problem, but as with allergies, the biggest problem is when the protective measures misfire.

Presuming that the 'list that shall not be named' is what I think it is, that would be me. (I though I felt my name being invoked...)

The real key is to make sure the software is up to date and figure out the new features. That is, unless you're running something antique, in which case I'm not sure there's much to do but change.

Yahoo! and AOL changed the ground rules for mailing lists. Unsubscribing people using those two choices just kicks the can down the road. Google is one of the founding members of the DMARC standards group, they just haven't flipped the switch yet. New versions of the mailing list packages let you deal with the new situation.

What are you running, complete with version number, please?
