Not that I disagree with Larry; I went out to see what was happening in
the development world of the Mailman list server software.  It looks
like they are trying to address this problem by monkeying with the
headers Mailman creates in order to fool Yahoo and AOL into accepting
the messages.

There may be some work in involved and it might take a bit of time, and
at the outside it could really mess up the list.  The first thing that
needs to happen is an upgrade of the Mailman software in the back end to
a version that was -just- released.
