I think everyone needs to accept that all software is fallibleand at
first blush this looks like it is a bug in one of the two previous
updates to Mailman. Mailman is a very large and complex piece of
software that by its very nature is difficult to debug.
Add to that the fact that contesting.com as an organization has its own
policies and procedures in effect regarding the installation of any
software as primary to its purpose as Mailman (i.e., red tape).
Because the problem is intermittent (the worst kind) we can assume it
will take the maintainers of Mailman at least a day or two to produce a
fix. Even if the powers that be at contesting.com decide to simply
revert Mailman to an earlier version, that decision-making process more
than likely won't even be able to begin much before Monday.
Mailman has served us well for many many years, so give the appropriate
people the time they need to bring it back to health. Let's go work
some DX!

Over the years my experience is that staying away from anything with
"yahoo" in the URL keeps my spam count down. This may just be my own luck,
but it has kept me away for the last 5-10 years since my last ISP change so
I am going to hold with that policy. If a group is on yahoo, I am not on
it.

The SteppIR list has been at Yahoo for years and years and works just
fine. I am one of the moderators.
I don't think moving the list should be at the top of the list so to speak
but this option wit RTTY as the from is gong to run off a bunch of people

Bill the fastest way to kill a group is to move it. My 2 cents, Google

It seems strange that those providers causing the most problems have

Joe may have hit on the real reason for this. For example, Yahoo Groups
does not have this problem.
One possibility is to move this group to Yahoo or Google, but of course
that means giving in. Comments?
