So, as a WG chair, a person known to me just tried to post to the list
From a brand new yahoo.com mail account. They aren't subscribed with that
address. I would normally just approve, and add them...
It seems to me that I must now actually reject, because it would affect other
subscribers.
I'm now thinking that we need to remove all the @yahoo.com addresses from
posting to ietf mailing lists.
