Hi Ken,

I'm afraid Yahoo "Blacklisted"£ StJohn's University a few days ago, this meant
that the mail queues on the List Server started  filling up with undelivered
Yahoo messages. The Universities Unix Admin then decided to "silently" delete
ALL yahoo subscribers from ALL lists!!

Here's an email I got from him:-

Nope.  This is the second time in as many months that I've spent a
vacation day at home dealing with some big ISP's blocking strategy.
Roughly 12,000 subscribers were deleted, I'm not providing any more
support for them beyond deleteing them and their mail.

So he nuked 12,000 subscribers!!

Merry Christmas. (and welcome back!!)
