dear Pd junkies,
recently, yahoo (and later aol) has implemented a strict spam-preventing scheme, that basically prevents mailinglists like yours truly from doing their work [1]. this scheme basically disallows re-distribution of emails from people with yahoo-accounts.
you (esp. if you are using yahoo yourself, but gmail users might be affected as well) might have noticed, that some mailing-list posts have gone missing (esp. when originating from other yahoo users). a possibly missing email can be found at [2].
this is *not* a hostile attempt from our side (your faithful iem-team) to censor the mailinglist(s).
we are currently investigating ways to mitigate the problem [3], but haven't found an acceptable /and/ working technical solution yet.
if possible, we would like to suggest all posters using yahoo-addresses, to consider switching to another (free)mail-provider
- if only for the purpose of posting emails to innocent mailinglists.
if we do not find a solution fast, we might be forced to *temporarily* disable posting from yahoo-addresses (but will try avoid this step as long as possible, and if forced to use it keep it as short as possible).
yours,
fgasmdr IOhannes
