One of the problems we have had with Yahoo is that the "To:" address is listname@yahoogroups com As it is not addressed to the recipient in person Hotmail (and others) put the message into a 'junk mail' or 'bulk mail' folder by default, where it is deleted after 5 days or so To avoid this, the recipient has to find the message in the junk folder and flag it as 'not junk'

One advantage that I anticipate with Dada Mail is that messages are addressed to the recipient in person, which should prevent Hotmail, etc treating them as junk If you change the headers so that the "To:" address becomes the list name, then I think it would be useful to provide an option to keep the existing headers where the "To:" address is the recipient's name

Well I wouldn't count on that Hotmail's spam handling is (or at least used to be) quite stupid and I don't recall it stopping messages because they're not addressed (in the To: field) to the itended recipient (the smtp_to recipient)

However, it does frequently block messages whose originators are not in the recipient's addressbook, so you have to manually add to a safe list every correspondant that you have
