[kwlug-disc] Mailing list weirdness?

Sun Mar 31 23:36:39 EDT 2019

It looks as if Yahoo! got mad at the mail server used to send out
KWLUG emails. Mark Steffen (who hosts the mailing lists) is on the
case. I just received a bunch of delayed emails, and I am sending this
to see whether I get a response back promptly.

Thanks to Mark for handling this.
