Setting the yahoo.com addresses to review per this email fixed the problem in the short term for me. About 10 percent of our lists are discussion lists and this covered a few hundred yahoo subscribers.



Thanks nate

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.
