Hi Pauline, In their endeavor to give their customers the best email experience possible, yes I'm being cynical, Yahoo developed some spam filter software which caused no end of trouble for email groups. This was later, around the middle of last year or thereabouts, adopted by many ISPs which of course made things worse. This is why you've seen different changes in different mailing lists regarding how a sender's email address shows up in emails sent to a mailing list. Just as an example where previously a sender's email address might have shown up as ann2001@xxxxxxxxxxx, it was now showing up as ann via yarnworkers.com (the name of the mailing list. There was also a lot of bouncing in some groups. We only experienced a very small number of bounces on this list comparatively. It caused us no end of problems with our email messages being marked as spam for everyone using certain ISPs for their email service. There is a small amount of members on this list who still aren't receiving emails from our group due to the adoption of the Yahoo spam software by some smaller ISPs. I know the above is a mouthfull, so suffice it to say Yahoo spam filter equals bad things for mailing lists and email in general. Best of 2015 to you and yours!
