I thought I wasn't having any trouble with messages arriving, but then I logged into gmail via the web and checked my spam folder.  All that was in there were messages from this list and one other.  I checked them all and clicked the not spam button.  It said they were moved to the inbox.  All were yahoo addresses except one from Hans.  Strange that all his other messages would make it but Google's spam filters would catch one.

Is there a punishment too severe for spammers?  I think not.

Apparently, so is gmail... (and maybe for similar or "analogous" reasons.) 
I use gmail [since circa late 2005] and I found this message in my "Junk mail" (or 'spam') folder, there on gmail. 

I don't keep up with (reading) PLUG-DISCUSS as often as I used to ... but any time I want to, if I really do want to read it, then (no matter) even if the robots are starting to categorize messages like this as "junk" mail -- (a "false positive", IMHO) -- I could always go read the messages on the archive, on the server.

I don't think I've been "dropped from the list" [yet], .. but, thanks for the HEADS-UP! :-) ! 

Just my 0.02 ... YMMV ...

Your membership in the mailing list PLUG-discuss has been disabled due
to excessive bounces The last bounce received from you was dated
12-Apr-2014.  You will not get any more messages from this list until
you re-enable your membership.  You will receive 3 more reminders like
this before your membership in the list is deleted.

I guess Yahoo is treating PLUG as spam.

The newsletter folks like iContact are having to deal with Yahoo, Gmail, HotMail..... etc bouncing emails if the recipient does not open a certain number of emails they signed up to get.  Must be a profit thing.

I do not read every plug post so maybe that is what happened to me.

Thanks to some changes at yahoo, people that were subscribed to the plug
mailing lists and probably wanted to continue to receive PLUG email are
dropping off the list like flies due to their messages from the list
being rejected.

Obviously this message won't reach the people who are being dropped from
the list, but if anyone runs into someone that says that haven't been
getting new emails, you can tell them that they need to switch providers
because yahoo and any other domain that is hosted by yahoo will no
longer accept plug emails.

I'll try to archive the bounce notifications and if yahoo changes their
policy, I'll manually resubscribe anyone that gets dropped.  Until then
we have to assume that this change is permanent.
