LOL, Hector & Steve - thanks for the responses and straight talk, sad as it is.
The problem is the list providers who dump my email address for ''bouncing/not getting all messages'' allegedly, not email providers (not that they don't have issues too, but that's another topic). Yahoo is NOT the only one I've had issues with; hotmail is the same - a couple weeks and I'm bounced again on either from the ARSClist. Based on my experiences with Yahoo in the past, I'm not even going to waste my time CONTACTING them, let alone trying to lobby them. Thanks for the link Steve - will check it out - you gave me more info than I've ever gotten from Yahoo. Tis depressing indeed to hear the comparison to the Ds and Rs, as I washed my hands of BOTH years ago, and this sounds just as hopeless, apparently.

None of this is new. Its been known for at least 10+ years now. Its like politics now, DEM vs GOP. DEM wants DKIM POLICY designs, the GOP want DKIM TRUST designs. DMARC is providing new hope DKIM POLICY will prevail and now that more BIG systems are supporting it and also turning on the REJECTION switch, maybe 3rd party POLICIES is next. Cross your fingers. Vote for 3rd Party Domain Authorization Signing Solutions. <g> -- HLS _______________________________________________ dmarc mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc -------------------------------------------- On Sat, 1/24/15, Steve Atkins <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: Re: [dmarc-ietf] update on dmarc from a mailing list USER'S perspective?

Your ISP has made a policy statement that you are not allowed to use mailing lists from their service. DMARC didn't create the issue, Yahoo did. You have two choices if you want to be able to reliably participate in mailing lists - persuade Yahoo to reverse their decision about what they will allow you to do with a yahoo.com email address, or move to a different email provider. > My occasional perusing of messages on this list leads me to believe ''not yet.'' Is this accurate? Kinda. "Not any time soon" would be more accurate. "Not ever" might be even more accurate. > ANY ''update for the layman'' that anyone could volunteer would be MUCH appreciated. I miss my mailing lists. Move to a different ISP. All the ISPs highlighted in red on this - http://dmarc.wordtothewise.com - list have stated that they do not wish their users to send email via anything other than their mail systems. That includes, amongst other things, typical mailing lists. That list of ISPs has been pretty stable for a while - I don't expect any of those listed in red to change any time soon, and I hope there won't be any changes to red either.
