It means just what it says.  It even provides a web link for more
information.

Using the yahoo address is not a problem.  You were apparently trying to send
mail from a web site.  The web site incorrectly put 'yahoo.com' as the domain
of the return address.  However, the web site is not authorized to send mail
for the yahoo domain.  The web site is forging the return path on email it
sends, just like a spammer.  This is dishonest, and even illegal after the
CAN-SPAM act was passed.  Hence, such mail is rejected by any mailer configured
to reject forged email.  So just don't use the web site.  It is broken.

You could try complaining to the web site, but they probably won't listen,
because the problem is technical ignorance.  You probably won't be able to
enlighten them, but you could try directing them to this link:

In any case, it is not really helpful to keep sending copies of articles
to the mailing list.  We can already read the articles online, we don't
need another copy.  You should write a plain text message with your
comments, and simply include a link to the article.  Your comments are,
after all, your "value added".  If your email client won't let you insert links
via drag & drop, then copy & paste from the "location" bar of your 
web browser will work.

Anyway, here is your post:

Audience..."

For those of you at our apologetics meeting last Saturday at Jim's house,
you will appreciate the irony based on Marty's report of the Cardinal's
recent presentation at a conference at Christendom College.

Well, you can't hit a home run every time at bat.
