Digging deeper into the header one finds:

I'm no expert on dmarc, but that looks to be the source of the pain.
Do we have any evidence that his messages are affecting the rest of us,
though?
I get disabled regularly. My address is at Yahoo. Currently I'm sitting at 2.0
out of 5.0 for my bounce score. The previous disabled messages came at:

A fairly uneven distribution. None repeating sooner than 5 days and sometimes
taking up to 18 days before hitting the 5.0 bounce limit.
I was thinking of changing my email to another provider even though I've had
this one for at least 12 years. But if it's because of a configuration
problem, then other providers may react the same way so will it do any good?
