Thanks Mark. For the time being I have removed AOL and Yahoo from that  
spam filter and marked all such addresses as 'moderated'. I'm guessing  
though that allowing them through would still escape the DMARC munging -  
so I've told the list that it's no longer accepting posts from AOL or  
Yahoo.com.

(I note that neither yahoo.co.uk nor aol.co.uk have published a DMARC  
policy.)

I'm not that mean :-)

I should have made it clear that this message was the trigger rather than  
the lone cause.

I did (before I had 2.1.18-1 available) toy with setting it high (c.9 or  
10) and setting bounce_info_stale_after down to 1 so that I could let  
aol/yahoo posts out in a burst on one day and then hold them for a couple  
of days to clear the bounce scores.

I would if I weren't restricted to the GUI :-(

Thanks though, if think get tough though, I could probably get my provider  
to run the script for me.

Thanks for all your (and others) work on mailman, Malcolm.
