The failure to mirror started under Yahoo mail.  Changed to gmail
hoping that would fix it.  It didn't.  So, I don't think it's the SMTP
server.  Unless both providers have the same settings.  But I'll check
my setting which I haven't changed since setting up the account.  Or,
maybe, it just might be the Debian list server itself.
