[Frameworks] Fw: Your removal from the AMIA-L list

[elizabeth mcmahon]

Pip,

I was kicked off of AMIA's listserv, too. This is the email I received. Yahoo is the culprit, though they will blame the administrators. BS! I have switched to gmail and so far, so good. Finger's crossed. If you search Yahoo's help section, you will find many pissed off people having the same problem with their Yahoo acct. Here was Yahoo's lame response (the first one is much longer, but this will suffice): 
i Elizabeth,
 
Thank you for contacting Yahoo Mail.
 
If the issue persists, the best solution is to contact the mail system administrator or postmaster of the listserv, with which you are experiencing the issue
 
We recently changed our DMARC policy to proactively protect our users from increasing email spam that uses Yahoo users’ email addresses from other mail servers. This is an important step to secure our users’ email identities from being used by unauthorized senders. It also interferes with some long-standing uses of identities that are authorized by the user but not verifiable.
By publishing a “p=reject” record, Yahoo tells other DMARC compliant systems to reject mail from Yahoo users that isn’t genuinely originated from a Yahoo server.
Thank you again for contacting Yahoo Mail.
 
Real helpful, huh? If you want the first one, I would be happy to send it. But basically Yahoo bounces all listserv emails now, for no discernible reason. Thanks Marissa Mayer.

Elizabeth

>- The failing address is elizmcmahon at YAHOO.COM.

>- The first error was reported on 2014-08-19.

>- Since then, a total of 3 delivery errors have been received.

>PLEASE DO NOT  IGNORE THIS MESSAGE. While you can  of course re-subscribe

>the AMIA-L list, and also affects  your private mail. This means that YOU
>HAVE PROBABLY LOST  SOME PRIVATE MAIL AS WELL. Anyone  trying to write to

>DO NOT LET TECHNICAL PEOPLE CONVINCE YOU THAT THIS IS NORMAL. It is never

>correctly.  It is  true that  some mail  systems are  less reliable  than
>others, and your technical people may be doing the best they can with the
>tools  they have.  But, ultimately,  the level  of service  that you  are
>receiving is the result of a  business decision, and not something due to
