Never mind.  I was finally able to read most of the latest email messages
and found Dennis' answer.  Thank you Dennis.

Dennis,

We have run into the same problem, on the systems we host.

However our emails were just disappearing, no bounces to give us a clue it
was happening.

Customer implemented Dmarc and never told anyone.

> In the simplest terms, DMARC is specification for checking the domain

> The unintended consequence here is with mailing lists such as your

> pairList server is not on the list of authenticated servers that can 
> send email for a yahoo address and as such any provider using DMARC 
> will reject or bounce the message.

> Currently the only work around available for your lists is to turn on
