If you can, it's probably better to just ban the Yahoo users from
posting (or put them all on moderation).

That will avoid any bounces caused by the new Yahoo DMARC reject policy,
but still allow Yahoo users to lurk (receiving messages from the list).
 If any other domains set their DMARC policy to reject, they'll have to
be moderated as well, but the receiving domains that are bouncing
messages (and there's quite a list) are simply obeying the policy
published by Yahoo that says to reject any mail with a yahoo.com domain
that didn't directly originate from Yahoo's defined server IPs, so if
you prevent yahoo.com emails from posting to the list, the bounces will
go away.

I've been through this with a mailing list I run for my neighborhood,
and there's basically no good solution.  I can't ban or moderate folks
with Yahoo accounts (it's about 20% of the users), so I have to break
RFCs and mangle the From: header.  I really wish the DMARC folks would
actually _try_ to work with the IETF to find a sensible solution rather
than just unilaterally nuke every mailing list in existence and make you
pick which standards you want to break.  <groan>
