I sort of wonder if this is really just yahoo trying to use a stick to
motivate people to do the right thing? It seems like everyone's been
trying for a while to 'make email better'... and that perhaps DMARC
will make it somewhat better, and if setup properly this is a
non-issue... after much faffing: "Welp, how about we whack the
mail-lists (and others) with a stick and get movement int he right
direction?"
not sure this is all bad... and i think the fix is pretty
straightforward for list folk, right? so all the faffing on this list
and others took longer to do than the fix-action?
