I have had to deal with Yahoo tech support a few times. Each time it was a frustrating experience in that I am fairly sure the support people did not spend more than a couple of seconds scanning the request before firing back a pre-written response that had little to do with the issue.
The change you are seeing is a method of reducing SPAM and such called DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) that likely will become fairly common. It is unfortunate that Yahoo is fully aware that implementing DMARC will cause huge problems for most mail lists. The only solution that is being offered is to block emails from people with a Yahoo address, a pretty draconian workaround.

When I checked them they always looked like legitimate posts to the list. I was wondering what was going on. Ken H.
