In other words, the mail cannot pass through another server along the way, especially not an email list server like LISTSERV. Hotmail.com/live.com/msn.com/outlook.com (Microsoft) and Comcast.net are choosing to obey this new DMARC rule published by Yahoo.com and are rejecting all mail from ****@yahoo.com addresses that come through LISTSERV. The net effect is yahoo.com has effectively prevented anyone with a ****@yahoo.com email address from participating in LISTSERV email lists. Owners of ****@yahoo.com email addresses should express their feelings about this matter to the Yahoo.com postmaster. https://io.help.yahoo.com/contact/index?locale=en_US&page=contact http://twitter.com/YahooCare https://www.facebook.com/YahooCustomerCare ############################ To unsubscribe from the LSTSRV-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa-PEACH.exe?SUBED1=LSTSRV-L&A=1
