That's how I'm reading it. I asked how the system works and I believe I was not told the answer. I will now make a guess: Guess #1: tclug-list accepts messages only from subscribers. Guess #2: tclug-list has sometimes had bots subscribe and spam the list Guess #3: the bot subscribers have sometimes had yahoo.com addresses Guess #4: Yahoo bots have caused problems for list administrators Guess #5: to avoid further trouble, yahoo.com addresses are blocked from subscribing That might all be wrong, but if it is right, why can't we just subscribe Wayne Johnson's yahoo.com account and continue to block others?
