a note to LAMMPS users subscribers sending e-mails from yahoo accounts

hi everybody,

if you are using a yahoo email address to post to the lammps-users
mailing list, you should be aware, that many of your fellow
subscribers won't see them.

there is a long-standing disagreement between yahoo and other e-mail
hosting services about how signal what is a legitimate sender and
receiver of e-mails and due to some changes that yahoo did a couple
years back, many e-mails from yahoo addresses will be flagged as spam
for receivers that are not on yahoo or receive the e-mail through a
mailing list. this affects, for example most LAMMPS developers using
gmail for reading mailing list e-mails (e.g. steve, aidan and me).

there is no simple way to resolve this outside of switching to a
different e-mail service.

I just took a look in my gmail spam folder and confirmed what Axel says. There are about 0.5 emails/day sent to the LAMMPS mailing list and they are all from yahoo accounts.
