If you are subscribed to the disability-research list using a Yahoo email address then this is for you. You will still receive list messages but I'm afraid you will need to take some actions before you can post again to the list. I'm afraid this is Yahoo's fault not ours.

Thank you all for using the disability-research list and my apologies for sending this to everyone. 

Best wishes

Mark

Subject: [OWNERS-ANNOUNCE] Issue affecting Yahoo email subscribers to lists

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 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.

More information on this issue can be read here:

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

Thanks, 

Lisa
