Yahoo and gmail PLUG subscription failures

Indeed, yahoo really screwed the pooch when they changed their DMARC 
policy near the beginning of April. Yahoo doesn't appear to understand 
appropriate use of DMARC. People who use mailing lists should use 
something other than yahoo accounts. Personally, I've been recommending 
against using yahoo accounts period for a number of years now due to 
their security issues with compromised accounts.
