[Mesorah] Admin: What's with "From: ... via Mesorah"?

There has been a recent change to Mesorah emails.
An email from me to Mesorah used to say:
From: Micha Berger <micha at aishdas.org>
To: Mesoretic Text, Nusach haTefillah and Dikduk <mesorah at lists.aishdas.org>
Reply-To: Mesoretic Text, Nusach haTefillah and Dikduk <mesorah at lists.aishdas.org>
But now it's:
From: Micha Berger via Mesorah <mesorah at lists.aishdas.org>
Reply-To: Micha Berger <micha at aishdas.org>,
Mesoretic Text, Nusach haTefillah and Dikduk <mesorah at lists.aishdas.org>
This is because Yahoo changed their policy in late April that they will
not deliver mail whose "From:" line says ther sender is at some well-known
email server when in reality it came from a different computer.
So, email from "chaver at gmail.com" wouldn't but was forwarded by our
email list server wouldn't reach Yahoo users in single-email mode.
(Digests are made by and sent from @aishdas.org, so that wasn't a problem.)
Now all email is "From: ... via Mesorah <mesorah at lists.aishdas.org>"
and so it all flows. The Reply-to was changed to contain the real address,
so that a reply will go to the real author in addition to the list. (You can
then delete either, depending on who you want to send to.
We also had a few long-suffering AOL/AIM substribers who had intermittant
gaps in reception the page year or two; this appears to solve their problem
as well.
:-BBii!
