Well, you are making quite an assumption when you say that what they are
doing
is correct and that the only way to do anything going forward is to munge
things
to work with Yahoo
As I said in OP, and in fact, you quoted in your reply:
Before anybody says "Don't use yahoo," this is both a reasonable thing for
yahoo to do, and something that others can and should and will (like it or not) be
adopting more in the future.
Point is, *today* it might be just yahoo and security activists. But it's only
a matter of time before it's other big boys too.
Have you looked into who's behind creating DMARC? AOL, Google, Microsoft,
Yahoo, Facebook, Comcast, and others.
This isn't the first anti-spam creation those companies have created.
Just because it exists doesn't mean that it's going to survive and be used
widely.
Anything that breaks e-mail for this many users is something that I don't expect
to last too long.
remember SPF records and how they were supposed to completely eliminate spam?
and how they had similar problems with mailing lists and have now faded a bit,
only to be replaced by this next attempt.
