 The Tacos reflector sends you
 a copy of the message back to the
 sender. 
 I will get a copy of this message.  However, due to
 changes
 that Yahoo made (breaking every
 mailing list known to man, which was
 considered acceptable collateral damage) you
 will not get mail that is
 sent by you, or by
 anyone else with a yahoo.com email address due to a
 "p=reject" DMARC policy:
 
 merlot:~ rs$ dig +short
 _dmarc.yahoo.com. txt
 "v=DMARC1\;
 p=reject\; sp=none\; pct=100\; rua=mailto:dmarc-yahoo-rua at yahoo-inc.com,
 mailto:dmarc_y_rua at yahoo.com\;"

 Best suggestion is to vote with your feet. 
 AOL is just as bad as
 Yahoo, and for the
 same reason (but who is moving _to_ an AOL account
 in 2014?)... 
 
 Note that right now gmail seems OK, but you
 ought to give serious
 thought to registering
 your own domain name and paying to have it
 hosted somewhere if you want to have a
 "permanent" email address and
 not
 go through this nuttiness whenever an email provider gets a
 wild
 hair.
 
 Yahoo has made it clear that they are not
 interested in doing the
 right thing by their
 customers.  Makes perfect sense inasmuch as if
 you're not paying for the product, then
 *you are* the product.  I am
 quite sure
 that yahoo regards you as chattel.
