LISTSERV 16.0-2014a, an updated version of L-Soft's email list management
software, is now available to customers with valid maintenance and a License
Activation Key (LAK) expiring after April 23, 2014.

While there are a few bug fixes, the primary reason for this release is to
address the so called "DMARC Debacle".

Email list owners and site administrators are still reeling after Yahoo,
followed yesterday by AOL, implemented aggressive DMARC policies that created
giant headaches for all email list management software.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place with no advance warning, list owners and
site administrators have had to resort to a variety of circumventions, from
giving all Yahoo subscribers the boot to rewriting the "From" field to the
list address. Unfortunately, this also causes private replies to the sender to
be broadcast to the list without warning and invites personal mail clients to
reflect out-of-office messages to the entire list.

The solution that L-Soft has developed for LISTSERV does not require anyone to
make compromises or lose any functionality - not even the Yahoo and AOL
subscribers. Once you install the update, everything works just like it did
before. Incoming Yahoo and AOL addresses (and other domains that may adopt a
similar DMARC Reject policy in the future) are automatically rewritten to
local addresses that can receive private replies and forward them to the
original poster. There are no configuration changes needed.

See the LSTSRV-L list for detailed installation instructions.
