Re: [Mailman-Users] DMARC issues
My native paranoia has caused me to take note of the fact that what can only be described as a naked power grab by a collection of corporate Internet giants, with blatant disregard for the principles of net neutrality, has occurred while the attention of the national tech media is focused on the Heartbleed bug.

I wonder how much the media would make of it anyway. While there are thousands of mailing lists in operation, web forums and social media seem to be the preferred equivalent these days. Many people on mailing lists even seem confused about what they're on, perhaps because those run via google and yahoo have a web interface too.

Many sage responses elided... so back to the naive and foolish questions...
For an "announce only" list (viz. only very special people may post, and those people aren't from yahoo accounts) will this DMARC issue be easily avoided by not allowing any posts from yahoo members (they can read from others, correct?)

Yes, that is correct for the moment as long as yahoo.com is the only domain publishing a DMARC record with a reject policy.
If and when example.com follows suit, you need to disallow posts from it as well and so forth.

Yes.
BTW, hardly naive (the DMARC protocol is voodoo if you haven't done a fair amount of thinking about security implementation) and definitely not foolish (as Mark says, who knows what Yahoo! might do with the information they get by receiving failure notices).
