I maintain two lists on Mailman and haven't had a problem in a while. Here's the standard reply I would post when someone did have a question about it.
This discussion still comes comes up every once in a while, but it's not new. Back in April, 2014, Yahoo changed the way their email works and it broke mailing lists all over the place. Search for "yahoo broke mailing lists" and you'll get plenty of hits. And it doesn't just affect Yahoo.com address; they also host aol.com and *lots* of others. Here's an explanation for those into that sort of thing: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2141120/yahoo-email-antispoofing-policy- breaks-mailing-lists.html For Gmail (and probably other services) you can create a filter with the option to "never send to spam".
