Ah. This explains a lot. :-D
I have been conversing with Mladen about this offline, and he was unaware
that the "no-reply" thing was happening. Now we all know why -- he does
use a yahoo account.
In case anybody else suffers from this problem, GMAIL addresses seem to
work just fine. At least, I receive the mail people send me, although I
have no clue whether they also get bounces. Also, I've been using a gmail
address on the list for months, and I receive remarkably little spam.
Google must have some pretty fancy spam filters, and the custom filters
they let me set up seem to take care of the rest. That or even the
spammers don't want to talk to me. :-)
Thanks for the explanation Jeremy. This is still annoying, but I clearly
need to attach the blame for it elsewhere. :-)
Cheers!

Mladen, a few people have remarked recently that your use of a no-reply
e-mail address is annoying. I am beginning to share that view.
Hey Mark - I agree that it's really annoying, but the no-reply email
is not Mladen's doing - you have yahoo and aol to thank for that.
Everyone with an email from yahoo or aol now gets a "no-reply" email
on nearly every email list they use. This is because Yahoo and AOL
changed their DMARC policies last year. It was an attempt to fight
spam with full knowledge that it would break mailing lists.
Yahoo hosted my very first web-based email address. I'm sad to see
them go this way, but very glad that I stopped using their email
services years ago... so I don't have to deal with this.
You can always see Mladen's email address - or anyone with yahoo/aol -
if you view the source of the email. It appears in the from field.
From: "Mladen Gogala" <dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (Redacted sender
"mg.....@xxxxxxxxx" for DMARC)
Very annoying, but this one is not Mladen's fault - except for the
unfortunate choice of Yahoo for an email provider which was probably
made long before they did this.
