The group you want to feel the pain are the administrators who add DMARC
records, but other than spamming them with error reports, there’s not much we
can do. I don’t think the administrators at Yahoo care too much whether their
users are able to use IETF mailing lists or not.
Strictly speaking, what causes these providers pain is their customers leaving.
However, given that Yahoo recently had a billion accounts hacked, I suspect
that the IETF’s DMARC settings are not going to provide any comparatively
strong motivation for leaving. And unfortunately one of the big DMARC sites
is google.com <http://google.com/>; I really doubt anyone is going to quit
their job at Google so they can participate in the IETF, and while we can
certainly make it impossible for them to participate without using a different
mail provider, the question is, is this the right way to spread the pain?
It’s certainly one of the options we discussed when this came up earlier.
BTW, speaking of obnoxious header munging, it would be a kindness, Randy Bush,
if you would stop munging the headers on your replies to the IETF mailing list
to say "IETF Disgust." I find this really offensive, and consequently I have
to go in and re-edit the name back to "IETF Discussion List" to undo your
vandalism. If the list so disgusts you, why not unsubscribe?
