FWIW, I have 99 yahoo.com members on my largest list (4300 total), 13 aol.com, and 3 verizon.net. I never have problems with these, not even gray listing (which is not terrible when it happens, since the post is eventually delivered). I do have SMTP_MAX_RCPTS set to 5, which may help. I also have dkim and spf set up properly. That said, my problems with all Microsoft addresses (outlook, hotmail, live, ssn) were so bad that finally I just abolished them from the list. But this was not a problem specific to Mailman.
