The Yahoo change does affect him, in the sense that his emails to the
PDML will be marked as spam for those of us who receive them on Gmail
and certain other providers.

John uses Yahoo's SMTP servers to send mail to the PDML. The PDML mail
server sends John's mail (with a Yahoo "From" address) to my Gmail
account (and everyone else on the list). Gmail sees the mail with
John's Yahoo "From" address, but it didn't come from Yahoo's SMTP
server--it came from the PDML mail server. Gmail, as requested by
Yahoo's DMARC records, marks that message as spam.

Basically, people with Yahoo addresses can't participate effectively
on mailing lists anymore.
