Yahoo recently started applying DMARC p=reject to more domains. See

There have been workarounds for this issue since 2.1.16, but they didn't
get serious until 2.1.18 and have seen continuous tweaking since then.

See the FAQ articles at <http://wiki.list.org/DEV/DMARC> and
<http://wiki.list.org/x/17891458>
