AOL got absorbed into Yahoo, which in turn got absorbed into Verizon, which in
turn split off Yahoo mail to a holding company. So, yeah, it is anyone's guess
what is happening off in Yahoo-mail land. *Yahoo* is known to greylist
mailling list posts, either because Yahoo thinks they are spam or simply
because it is getting too many messages from a given source. If the latter,
configuring mailman to send fewer messages at a time might help.
Question: are there other people on your list with any of these addresses:
@yahoo.com
@verizon.net
@aol.com
@netscape.com
??
Are they getting posts from the mailling list?
Have you been getting spam reports from Yahoo?
What do you get when you use the mailq command to check the mail queue on your
E-Mail server (eg Postfix or Sendmail)?
