I'd say it's pretty badly broken if Yahoo intends for their web mail

it would have been nice if they'd given us some advance warning so we
could take the yahoo.com addresses off our lists.

Meh. This just means list software will have to rewrite the From
header to "From: John Levine <nanog () nanog org>" and rely on the
Reply-To header for anybody who wants to send a message back to the
originator.

Maybe this is a good thing - we can stop getting all the "sorry I'm
out of the office" emails when posting to a list.
