[Vision2020] Missing emails

[Mike Harshbarger]

Yahoo has recently started telling other email providers to use very
strict, draconian anti-spam policy when it comes to receiving mail from @
yahoo.com email addresses. They tell other email providers to reject any
mail coming from @yahoo.com email addresses that didn't originate from
Yahoo's own servers.

Here's a rather technical story on it:
http://www.spamresource.com/2014/04/up-in-arms-about-yahoos-dmarc-policy.html

So when a Yahoo email user sends a post through the Vision2020 list server,
that posting comes from the Vision2020 server (which is not Yahoo), and is
rejected by email service providers who abide by Yahoo's DMARC policies.

This will require a change in all list server configurations here soon as
more and more service providers start using the DMARC system. First Step
itself doesn't pay attention to any DMARC policies, but I'm sure other big
email providers like gmail and hotmail do.

Note that this is also likely the cause of some Vision2020 users having
their subscriptions suspended... because of all the @yahoo.com posts coming
from the Vision2020 server being rejected.
