By their statement it's obvious that yahoo doesn't care about what they broke. It's unfortunate that email has become so centralized that one entity can cause so much 'trouble'. Maybe it's a good opportunity to encourage the affected mailing list subscribers to use their own domains for email, and host it themselves if possible. -Laszlo On Apr 14, 2014, at 5:05 PM, Miles Fidelman <mfidelman@meetinghouse.net> wrote:
Isn't it the other way around? They don't want their users to be able to send to mailing lists. They receive traffic from the lists just fine. Their policy considers only effects mail originating from their users. Yahoo subscribers can receive messages form nanog just fine, but they can't send to it.

I don't see what the big deal is here. They don't want your messages and they made that clear. Their policy considers these messages spam. If you really want to get your mailing list messages through, then you need to evade their filters just like every other spammer has to.

Well... how about this, from Yahoo's own posting: We know there are about 30,000 affected email sending services, but we also know that the change needed to support our new DMARC policy is important and not terribly difficult to implement.
To me - this sure looks, smells, and quacks like a denial-of-service attack against a system I operate, and the subscriber to the lists that I support -- somewhat akin to exploding a bomb in a public square, and then taking credit for it.
