Jack, 

AOL and Yahoo are very much aware of it. In fact, they are the ones that 
precipitated the need for listservs to take action such as our redactions, by 
setting their servers’ security to reject listserv messages as spam. 

To read a full explanation of the problem Yahoo and AOL have caused listservs 
by doing this, here are a couple of good links:

That's a suboptimal solution to a problem that shouldn't be one in the first 
place. 

Someone has unilaterally decided to blacklist emails from those two domains.
   
I wonder what Yahoo or AOL would think about that.
