[Mailman-Users] Yahoo rejects

[The Mailing List Server Admin]

Hello -

FWIW, I've seen this recently from Yahoo as well, and have been unable to 
get a reponse from Yahoo about it.

It seems very likely that, as Grant Taylor suggests, its a filtering 
issue. It's been an occasional recommendation here for users of high 
priority lists to use a mail provider other than Yahoo, for more or less 
this reason. Our guess is that if a user or users report mailing list 
messages as spam, instead of unsubscribing, Yahoo's filter may begin 
mistreating list  messages from a given source as spam for a time - 
usually a week or two.

Yahoo's lack of outbound communication, and the 5xy rejection code for an 
active user make unravelling this more of a challenge than it need be.
