Hi from your friendly neighborhood local idm list owner. Recently, Yahoo
(and now AOL) have made life harder for folks like me by implementing
something called DMARC - google "DMARC Yahoo" if you want the gory
details, but it has to do with how mailing lists relay mail, and Yahoo's
desire to fight spam, with ordinary mailing list subscribers like you as
collateral damage. There are a bunch of complicated solutions proposed,
but the simplest one is to avoid making any changes to messages when they
go through the list. So, I'm experimenting with that here - the subject
line used to say "[idm]" and no longer does, and there used to be a
trailer with unsubscribe information at the bottom of every email, and
there no longer is. There are still mail headers with that info, though.
Hopefully this works - we'll know when someone from a @yahoo.com address
posts, and it gets through to not only another @yahoo.com user, but to
@gmail.com users, @hotmail.com users, and others on major services that
implement DMARC.
Sorry if this is confusing, or if you have to change your mail filters to
accomodate. Hopefully you don't even notice anything wrong, but thought
I'd at least let you all know.
ObIDM: I've been enjoying Wooky's "Montjuic" quite a bit recently. Retro
without being sappy. I'm also amazed at how well Moderat's done with II -
wish I'd caught them at Moogfest, or in Brooklyn this last weekend.
