digitalmars.D - Disable subscription disabling after multiple bounced emails

As you may or may not have noticed, everyone's subscription to
digitalmars.D was just disabled due to too many bounces. Blame Yahoo.
Blame them 100% for you having to re-subscribe. Blame them for not
having done anything about the problem since they implemented their
broken rules last weekend. And finally read
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg87153.html to
understand why you were unsubscribed from the list. Then bug the right
person to do the same as John and disable the mechanism that disables
subscriptions after multiple bounced emails.

What I'm really worried about is that I had my e-mail sent back 
to me in plain-text.

That's the mailman mailing list software's normal operation. Once 
a month, it emails your the plain text password as a reminder of 
your subscription.

It is silly, but it is also documented on the signup page:

You may enter a privacy password below. This provides only mild 
security, but should prevent others from messing with your 
subscription. Do not use a valuable password as it will 
occasionally be emailed back to you in cleartext.

Just because it's documented, doesn't make it right...
