[Mldxcc] IMPORTANT message about the mldxcc reflector and yahoo email

[Rick Tavan N6XI]

Yes, it's quite visible here. My gmail SPAM folder suddenly shifted from
<10% false positives to >90% false positives. Yahoo has "cut off their nose
to spite their face." It's like government regulations and radio contest
rules - if anything can possibly go wrong, outlaw it, even if 99% of the
cases are actually correct. Bah, humbug!
