[Ansteorra] What exactly are "bounces" on the list

[Stefan li Rous]

This message of yours did get through. But it was posted through gmail, not yahoo.
If you posted the original messages through Yahoo, it sounds like your best bet is to drop the Yahoo address and move to something like gmail.

I'm now having problems posting to maillists hosted on yahoo, unless I post from a yahoo account. :-( Probably caused by similar yahoo changes.
