This is not Yahoo's fault.

Now it's time to read and understand SPF, DKIM and DMARC.
All three of them have been implemented at e-mail server level in order to 
allow a domain owner to issue a set of policies. These policies mandate 
e-mail receiving systems to flag or discard fraudulent messages. (e.g. 
e-mails bearing senders e-mail address from @bank.com but crap messages 
sent by servers which have no relationship with bank.com.)

SPF lists the IP addresses of the servers authorised to send e-mail from 
bank.com.
DKIM authenticates and digitally signs e-mails from bank.com
DMARC uses both SPF and DKIM ; if a mail message fails both checks, then 
the message fails DMARC.

Mailing list software such as Yahoo Groups alter the message (inclusion of 
a [tag] in the subject; addition of a footer) so the DKIM signature becomes 
invalid as the message is tampered with.
SPF fails also because the message from 
[email protected] is not spit out by  their original 
server, but resent from a Yahoo server.

The unique solution, which has been adopted by Yahoo, is to rewrite the 
sender address, discard the original sender, and set [email protected] 
as the sender. The original sender may or may not be shown in the text part 
describing the sender address.
