Passing this on, if you are using yahoo.com to send mail but not using a
yahoo reply address. It is a complex problem, but after a dozen or two
readings you get the gist. At its root, it's all about controlling spam.

Hello
If you're receiving this list you are (or may) be a list owner or
moderator on the mailman.qth.net mail server.
Recent actions by Yahoo have caused a large amount of bounced email
and automatic unsubscribes from contesting.com email lists. If you
want to read the gory details go here:
http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/DMARC
This afternoon I upgraded the list software on the mailman.qth.net
email server to hopefully eliminate the issue. The main side effect
is this:
If the sender of a message is coming from Yahoo or one of the domains
that Yahoo controls you will notice a few different things about those
messages when they go to the list:
- Messages will appear to come from a munged email address not
belonging to the sender. If the sender has his name set in his email
client or on the list server then messages will appear to come from a
user appearing like this in the From field: "Firstname Lastname via
LISTNAME" or something similar.
- The poster's email is preserved and appears in the Reply-To field.
SO to reply to the list, the poster will have to specifically select
Reply All in his email client in order for his response to go to the
entire list. In some cases this represents no change. This is
probably a safer setting and avoids embarrassment for those who can't
resist being nasty and vindictive in their emails.
If you see any issues please let me (George K5TR)and Scott KA9FOX know
ASAP. You can just Reply All to this email in order to do that.
I would further suggest that you might want to send a general note to
your list to encourage people to resubscribe and that the
bounce/unsubscribe issues should be behind us now.
Thanks,
George Fremin III - K5TR
