medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear medieval-religion colleagues,
I am forwarding this message, sent to the list managers by Jiscmail, to the list as a whole.
I call upon colleagues who subscribe with a Yahoo address to pay particular attention, and re-join the list using a non-Yahoo service provider.
(I am writing the list as a whole, rather than solely our colleagues using a Yahoo address, so that everyone might understand why certain messages sent over the past few days by Yahoo-using colleagues may have not been delivered.)
Best wishes to all, George
Begin forwarded message:
> 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.
>
> If a Yahoo subscriber tries to post to your list, the message will be forwarded to the list owner(s) with this message:
> The enclosed message, found in the L-SOFT mailbox and shown under the spool
> ID 278571919 in the system log, has been identified as a possible delivery
> Error notice for the following reason: mail origin is listed in the "Filter="
> List header keyword (or its default value for the L-SOFT list).
>
> Unfortunately this message cannot be edited.
>
> We would also recommend that if you have subscribers on your list using Yahoo email accounts then we would ask you to:
> 1. Post a message to your list (or contact them off the list) and pass on the information from this message.
> 2. Ask your Yahoo subscribers to re-join your list using a non-Yahoo email service provider.
> 3. Ask your Yahoo subscribers to contact Yahoo to complain about the changes to their security settings.
>
> We are also posting this message to JISCMAIL-NEWSLETTER but are aware that not all of our subscribers are members of this list, so you may wish to post this message to your list.
>
> We have stopped email addresses being automatically deleted from lists - in case Yahoo subscribers have already posted to lists.

> Sorry for the inconvenience and hassle that this causes, and we'll keep you updated.
