Ben and the LSoft people are probably kind of busy pounding on the !@#$ Yahoo people.  :-)

Here is how I implemented it:

#1 - to check which Yahoo subscribers are already on moderated status, send this command to your admin server:

query [listname] with review for *@yahoo.com

Decide which of these subscriptions you would want to delete, then delete them. Also decide which of them should be re-established in moderated status if and when the Yahoo problem is resolved.

#2 - Send this command to your admin server:

quiet set [listname] review for *@yahoo.com

The server will return a neat listing of all yahoo subscribers that have been set to moderated status, and all that were already in moderated status.

#3 - Post a message to your list explaining to your subscribers what the situation is.
