Dear subscribers to EVOLUTIONARY-COMPUTING,
it seems anyone with a yahoo email address will no longer be able to post messages to our list. If you are currently a member of this list with a yahoo email address, you are advised to rejoin with a different account.
My apologies for this new policy which is beyond my control. Please read the message below for an explanation.
Peter.

> Yahoo have recently changed the security settings on their email servers which is causing major issues with mailing list services across the world, including JiscMail.
>
> Yahoo have changed their security settings in a way that causes emails sent through a mailing list service to be identified as junk-mail by email providers that using certain security systems. This causes many email providers including Google, Microsoft and Yahoo themselves, to reject any list emails originating from a Yahoo account. These rejections, can in some cases, cause subscribers to be removed from lists due to the number of rejected messages.

> In order to protect our subscribers and our service we have been advised to stop Yahoo subscribers from posting to *any* JiscMail lists and we have implemented this change.

> Yahoo subscribers will still receive messages from lists.

> We would also recommend that if you have subscribers on your list using Yahoo email accounts then we would ask you to:

> 2. Ask your Yahoo subscribers to re-join your list using a non-Yahoo email service provider.
