Indeed, a lot of the discussion on this thread and the many other threads on DMARC and MLMs over the past year have often seemed to be based the assumption that email is working today and DMARC breaks it. Yet, in many way email is not working today and hasn't been for some time. Today email is the number one vector for initiating cyber-crime - this is very broken situation.
While everyone wants to spew vile at Yahoo in many ways they made a simple sensible decision. They knew full well what their reject policy would break mailing lists but decided to value their users' safety above that.
