The umn.edu help desk has supplied information about the problem.
A subscriber/list member from *@besteffort.com
<http://besteffort.com/> address (or other private
domain) posts a message to your list. It goes to all subscribers.
No problem
for anyone.
A subscriber/list member from *@yahoo.com <http://yahoo.com/> posts
a message (or a reply to the
above message) to your list. This will go to some subscribers, but
will NOT
go to subscribers/list members at yahoo.com <http://yahoo.com/> or
hotmail.com/live.com/msn.com/ <http://hotmail.com/live.com/msn.com/>
outlook.com <http://outlook.com/>, Comcast.net, Gmail.com and
several other domains. Messages to
these domains will not only not be delivered but will be
bounced/refused as if
the recipients at those domains do not exist. Thus, after a few such
messages, your subscribers/list members at all of those problematic
domains
are at risk to be auto-deleted from your list(s). This may amount
to more
than half of your total subscribers.
What can you do about this? Immediate solutions:
For now, you must prevent subscribers/list members from *@yahoo.com
<http://yahoo.com/> addresses
from posting any messages to your list. They simply cannot
participate in
your list if they send from a *@yahoo.com
<http://yahoo.com/> address. They can receive and read
messages from other subscribers/list members and they can send from
another
address, if they have one.
Unless someone comes up with another idea, mou-net will exclude from
posting any messages from yahoo.com. yahoo.com members will be able to
receive messages, but they will not be able to post messages.
