I am not sure if I would qualify this as a gremlin, but one of the 
people from OSUOSL.org (which gracefully hosts these lists and our 
server) did tweak this mailing list.

Why did such a thing happen?

Well, every time our friend Valdemaras (aka sovist at yahoo.com) posted a 
message on the list, I got a bounce from every subscriber to this list 
who use a yahoo-based ISP (that's 40 people who did not get the 
message). This with an error message about spam and DMARC that I am not 
sure to understand. As I do not understand why Valdemaras is our only 
user who freaks out yahoo.

So we can try to tweak again and better the list, but no promises. And 
if there is a specialist of mailman reading this, hints will be welcome.
