As most of you know, Yahoo and AOL plan to partner with Goodmail to allow

We (Roaring Penguin) obviously won't be paying, so if any Yahoo list

As I understand it, Yahoo is only using GoodMail to certify transactional
mails -- i.e. to identify real mail from your bank vs. phishing mail, or
order confirmations, shipping notices, etc. So the lack of a GoodMail seal
isn't likely to cause this list any problems.

Dunno how many customers are aol or yahoo mail users, however, if the
sentence "The CertifiedEmail symbol assures the message is safe and from
an accredited sender" (quote from the GoodMail linkt in the above
mentioned FAQ entry) may become more adicted to users, then the _absence_
of the symbol will cause a bad track!
Actually, I always wondered why free and open software is not able to
implement a transparent way handling _existing_ sender accreditions, such
as PGP, hence, pushing the relevance of non-commercially based
authentification higher.
