Yahoo doesn't have to, but not for that reason.  Yahoo groups don't put 
the Yahoo domain into the From line.  They leave the original sender's 
address there (whether it's a Yahoo address or not).  Or at least that's 
how they were handling it the last time anyone posted to a Yahoo group 
I'm subscribed to, though that was before this DMARC p=reject business 
started.

I think the reason Yahoo groups don't have to rewrite the From line is 
that even if the original sender uses an @yahoo address, passing the 
message through a Yahoo groups server won't break the DMARC tests 
because it's still a yahoo server and therefore "aligns" with the 
original From address.  Or so I understand it:  Mark or somebody correct 
me if I'm wrong?

But now I wonder what happens if a user with an @aol address posts to a 
Yahoo group.  Will it run afoul of AOL's p=reject policy?  If I still 
had an AOL address I'd be tempted to try this just to see what happens.
