Unfortunately, by sending this message to the list from an aol.com address,
you are causing other people to be dropped from the list.
See
http://postmaster-blog.aol.com/2014/04/22/aol-mail-updates-dmarc-policy-to-reject/
Any mail sent via the list from a yahoo.com or aol.com address will now be
bounced by most major ISP's. It is these bounces that are causing people
to be dropped from the list. It's not their fault -- their mail servers
are doing what yahoo and aol have told them to do.
I received your message because my mail server is deliberately configured
to *not* perform the check which bounces these messages, but most list
members don't have that option.
I only know of two solutions to this problem:
1) prevent all yahoo and aol users from posting to the list; or
2) configure the list server software to remove the sender's From address
and replace it with the list address.
2 is undesirable because the list of messages in most email clients would
no longer show the list subscriber who sent the message -- but it would
solve the bounce problem.
