[ih] yahoo is selectively censoring/rejecting incoming emails

[the keyboard of geoff goodfellow]

yours truly has a mailing list called Interesting Stuff (IS) for which
there are a number of recipients are  xxx at yahoo.com

today, when sending out a message on IS having to do with an alternative
COVID presentation of data/facts, yours truly got back SMTP level bounces
for each of the yahoo.com recipients of the form:
[...]

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<[xxx]@yahoo.com>
    (reason: 554 Message not allowed - [299])

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mta5.am0.yahoodns.net.:
>>> DATA
<<< *554 Message not allowed *- [299]
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable

[...]

so in order for the original (censored/"not allowed") message to get
through, yours truly had to go through a several times trial and error
iterative
process of "massaging" the subject of the message to an "innocuous" point
for which the yahoo censorship filter could not "detect" and thus reject.

this was a new/"historical/hysterical experience" of having an email
summarily rejected (by a webmail provider) at the SMTP level for a subject
matter for/of which does not adhere to/with The "Accepted" (MainStream)
Narrative.

we live in crazy times!
