[dms-discuss] Yahoo Email

[Robert Nickerson]

Hi

We found out about this last week and its a big PITA

Basically this standard,  demarc, is very POOR, but a lot of big email 
companies are using it.  Yahoo has the strictest implementation of it.

The bad thing though too is, with list processors automagically  
removing bounced email addresses this can kill a list membership pretty 
quickly. SO I'd suggest our list membership/email addresses be backed up.

Totally destroyed Whole Earth Festival List, big pain.
