I'm not sure it really is. The set of facts is quite small and 
untrustworthy. As I said, I'm not willing to do any more research on the 
matter at this time.

It's entirely possible that the couple of people reporting the problem are 
confused, maybe one of them -was- sending from a yahoo account and not from 
the well one. I know that I've got entries in the mailman bounces log and 
rejections in postfix's log, but haven't matched original senders to 
rejections. This group of people will probably have 4 or 5 more messages 
over the next couple of weeks, then the purpose of the list goes away.

(Please don't ask me questions about this, the answer would probably be a 
tarball of the logs. I'm sorry I even brought it up.)

z!
