Both of those are from Yahoo addresses. As I posted the day it was
reported here [1], Yahoo has chosen to publish a DMARC reject policy,
which unfortunately broke almost all mailing lists. Put simply, until
a change is made, every single message from Yahoo addresses will go to
the spam folder for users who are using email service providers
(including Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo itself) that are DMARC-compliant.
Yahoo doesn't seem to care about the damage that this change has done
to mailing lists.
