Thanks to some feedback from our technically-minded fellow list members (thanks, folks! I'm traveling at the moment, and haven't had time to research this) who'd already heard about this issue, we now know what's going on, here. The technical details are probably not of interest to the whole list, but the bottom line is that Yahoo recently made a change to their email security settings which is causing not just problems with our little list but basically ANY mailing list with Yahoo members who send messages to the list. I don't know if they're going to rescind this change, but in the meantime, Yahoo members, please: do not post to the O-list. If you do, your message will fail to get delivered to almost all major ISPs, and make lots of extra work for your list admins. Anyone who wants to change to a sensible ISP, let me know, and we'll immediately de-moderate your account at your new ISP as an incentive. Thanks, and sorry for the difficulties! Do consider going and folding something instead of sending email. (Though we'd love to hear about it, if you're not sending from a yahoo.com address...) Anne
