It doesn't seem to hurt any of us. R14 was clearly much more important!

Hi Timothy!

Probably not--that has been ongoing for some time. The maintinance laid
the groundwork for me to attempt to deal with the problem via DKIM, but
that has not been activated at this time.
During this window I will (in addition to many
other changes) be
addressing the sporadic list delivery issues to specific addresses
relating to DKIM implementation on certain service providers. It is
hoped
that these upgrades will stabilize the lists somewhat and make them
easier
to use.
Was your maintenance work in the beginning of November related to
sporadic "bouncing message" issue? Sometimes messages from the list can't be
delivered to my gmail
account, and I think it doesn't have to do with my account
specifically. Anyway, see the "bouncing warning" as an example below.
I receiving such warnings quite often. If it's a problem on the
mailing list side, then I could provide more information, not hesitate
to ask.
The critical portion of the message is this header:
"Unauthenticated email from yahoo.com is not accepted"
As to why Google thinks "pearsoncomputing.net" == "yahoo.com" I have
no
idea, but it seems that we are not alone in dealing with this issue:

http://osdir.com/ml/opensource-software-security/2014-08/msg00198.html
http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/problem-with-squid-users
-maillist-td4667315.html etc.
That last message at least outlines the problem. Trouble is we are one of
the sites struggling with inertia; we couldn't implement DKIM until the
recent upgrades, and after the upgrades I have been too busy with R14
release to roll out DKIM, etc. Boils down to the typical human condition
I suppose: too much to do, too little time and money. :-)
