Let me second that. I have also heard bad things about yahoo, and would
not like to receive their adverts. And I do like the computer-go.org
domain name!

Do we know who has set up the policy of not allowing mails from .jp etc?
Is it in the mailing list processor itself, at the provider that
connects to the machine, somewhere upstream, or somewhere else?

It should be possible to locate that block, and get it removed, and/or
find a way around it. Or to find a new host for the list, with a better
connectivity!
