Ok - but that doesn't change my point.  It's out of YOUR control if
Yahoo accepts messages from Larry's server.  You'd have no way of
knowing if it does or doesn't until you actually are sent one.

Yes, I know this, *and* I knew it that time that Larry tried to make it look

On the other hand, you KNOW that mail from LUGNET is getting to you,
since otherwise you wouldn't be able to do anything on the site.  (Well,
I guess it reminds me that the posting setup should send an email ping

I don't won't accept any unofficial email warnings.  Otherwise the emails I've
received from Larry lately would primarily *be* warnings.  I want official
warnings from @lugnet.com.  If they are sent from a server who's address is
poorly chosen, and don't get all the way to my end, but instead are dropped
somehwere in the middle, am I really at fault?

I've not blocked any email from @lugnet.com.
