I don't think this is a situation anybody is happy to see, no matter how they feel about DMARC in general or the policies certain mailbox providers have adopted in particular. I assume we're all here because we value email as a service and want to see it continue to be viable. Differences seem to come in perception of how much that viability is under threat from the truly amazing number of ways email is currently subject to fraud and abuse, and what progress has/hasn't been made (or can/can't be made) in areas like email authentication. > While I might be in support of working on the spam/fraud issue, my > ''Yahoo spam'' has actually INCREASED at least 5 fold since this > 'improvement' began, As a general rule, not everybody is impacted equally, or at the same time, by abusive activity (spam, phishing, etc). If your address is on their list(s) you get it, and if it isn't you may not notice anything happening while others are severely impacted. And next day/week/month that situation may flip. At least consider the possibility that - perhaps - you are now seeing, at whichever mailbox, the impact of the wave of abuse Yahoo was originally trying to stop. No, I don't have the numbers or patterns of behavior. And unfortunately I don't really expect a public company to be able to share anything too detailed, given the way lawsuits get tossed around. --Steve. _______________________________________________ dmarc mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc
