Apparently Yahoo hasn't changed its policy to correct this, so I "moderated"
all accounts that end in "yahoo.com" over the weekend. Due to popular demand,
I would think they would revert to previous settings, but so far they haven't.
So for the moment, those with yahoo accounts can read the list emails but not
reply. If you try to post it will be kicked back as "moderated" and being help
for approval. I rarely take the time to log in and check on those, and will be
even less likely now, so don't hold your breath that they'll be allowed to go
through. If you want to post to the list, my advice would be to get another
account with somebody like gmail, or better yet, your internet provider (ISP)
probably has setup instructions so you can get your own free email through
them. See below if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Subject: KR> Yahoo email users notice...please read!
Yahoo email account users? see below message from the KRnet and CorvAircraft
email list ?host? regarding Yahoo accounts. Bottom line is that yahoo
subscribers need to find another free email service. I?m no expert on free
email services, but I?d think Google?s gmail is as good as any, although I?m
sure somebody will disagree. See
https://accounts.google.com/SignUp?service=mail . I will likely ?moderate?
Yahoo account users this weekend in order to save the rest from being
unsubscribed due to bounces. To ?moderate? means you can read email but not
post to the list. So here?s your heads-up to get a different kind of email
account for KRnet and CorvAircraft list, and if you can?t post and your email
comes through Yahoo, that?s why. Yahoo and Hotmail have never been my
favorites anyway. If you resubscribe from another account, disregard the
request for personal information (it?s automatic) if you?ve already provided it.
Thanks, Mark Langford

Subject: Yahoo's Blunder Impacts Mailing Lists Worldwide
Dear Client:
Yahoo initiated a terrible policy change to their mail servers recently that
impacts every single mailing list software in use, not just Mailman. If any
Yahoo.com user posts to your list, they will cause those list members whose
ISP/ESP provider is using DMARC (Hotmail, Gmail, Bellsouth, etc) to bounce the
poster's message which can in turn cause the list to remove these members from
the list for excessive bounces. The problem is with Yahoo. You can read more
about it at:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2141120/yahoo-email-antispoofing-policy-breaks-mailing-lists.html
https://wordtothewise.com/2014/04/brief-dmarc-primer/
We recommend the following:
1. Resubscribing those list members that were recently removed.
2. Prevent any Yahoo.com subscriber from posting to your list until they
subscribe with another non-Yahoo email address. There is no telling when Yahoo
will fix this or if they ever will.
Again this issue only affect those lists where Yahoo.com users are allowed to
post to the list.
Thank you for using EMWD.com and we apologize for any inconvenience this has
caused.
