Greg, pardon me for replying in public to your private message; this affects LOTS of people. This is nothing you've done wrong. Unfortunately this is caused by some yahoo madness. It's a very big problem, and it's not clear what the fix is (except for yahoo to undo their change.) Worse, the change that yahoo made causes people at OTHER providers to be unsubscribed, too. At least comcast, yahoo, hotmail, live, sympatico, bellsouth, msn, and outlook users are being unsubscribed because of this. So in short, yahoo have singlehandedly broken all the existing mailing lists in the world. The sourceforge bug: http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/7413/ Someone who figured out the problem earlier: https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg87153.html Unsubscribing/forbidding all yahoo users is the only possible fix today (which would save people who use other providers from damage) but that really stinks because yahoo is so popular. Yahoo knows they broke mailing lists; see the bottom of their announcement: http://yahoomail.tumblr.com/post/82426900353/yahoo-dmarc-policy-change-what-should-senders-do I have turned off bounce processing temporarily; I hope sourceforge (and the mailman people) can come up with something soon, or yahoo undoes the madness. Meanwhile, if you've been looking for a reason to stop using yahoo mail, here's a very good one. If you are using yahoo mail, please don't respond to this message. Instead, please let yahoo know that you are affected, or move to another email provider.
