Based on circumstantial evidence I’m sure p=reject IS responsible. Every 
message from a Yahoo address to my lists go to my gmail SPAM folder, until I 
mark it as NOT SPAM. Subsequent messages from the same sender do not go to 
spam. My interpretation is that Google is not buying in to DMARC. As any 
responsible ISP will not also; the collateral damage of DMARC far outweighs any 
transient benefit (until spammers find a way around it). Google's own DMARC 
record is p=none.

How is it that gmail has outstanding spam and spoofing protection without 
DMARC? Even though it is a free service, like Yahoo and AOL? Yahoo and AOL are 
failing to take responsibility for their own incompetence by placing the burden 
and cost of spoofing amelioration on others rather than spending the time and 
cost of creating a secure email environment.
