Hi - Starting this week, I've discovered that emails sent from yahoo members on my mailing lists, are not getting
delivered to other yahoo addresses on my mailing list, including the person who sent the message. My SMTP logs show
that the message is getting rejected (see below). I'm positive that the reason this is happening, is because I have my
mailing list configured to preserve the original email address, in the From: line, while putting the mailing list
address in the Reply-To: If I specify that the mailing list address should also be in the From: address, the messages
get delivered.
I'm almost positive that Yahoo thinks that the message is spam, and rejecting it. This is based on the fact that the
same yahoo posts, when sent to Gmail members, are getting delivered to the Gmail user's Spam folder. Gmail displays
that the reason it's doing this, is that it can't verify that post is actually coming from yahoo. This is a bit absurd,
IMHO. But at least the message is getting delivered! In the case of yahoo, they simply reject the message!

mailer=esmtp, pri=208395, relay=mta5.am0.yahoodns.net. [98.138.112.38], dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable
I would like to know if anyone else is seeing this behavior. I've tried 2 different mailing list servers, and I see the
same behavior. Thanks. - Mark
