Hi Jan,

the summary of what our mail admin says is that it is not the setting of
the mailing list but the fact that Yahoo and Google decided to consider
mailing lists spam by default (-> more restrictive DMARC policy
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN7253.html?impressions=true
http://support.google.com/mail/answer/2451690 ).

People with yahoo and google accounts do NOT get mailing list
messages delivered. Instead, yahoo and google send us notifications
that the message was not accepted. When such bounces accumulate, the
address is disabled by the mailing list software.

So it seems that the only 'solution' is *not to use yahoo or gmail* for
mailing lists anymore. The affected list participants have to register
with another mail address, from a provider who does not treat lists by
default as bad.

Regards,
Günter
