[PVRCNC] YAHOO USERS - ATTN

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

This isn't about the list-servers.  Yahoo has turned on a flag to the
already-widely-implemented DMARC protocol, p=reject. It says if this yahoo
mail id didn't actually originate on a yahoo ISP server, then bounce it.
Any ISP that has implemented DMARC (all the majors and a lot of minors)
will then bounce it. In my case, AT&T and Gmail will bounce it, depending.

People will use proxies not associated with their "home" ISP, because they
don't want to change their email in a thousand places, but hate the ISP
hosting the old email address. So they do all their work and saving under
the new ISP, while using the old email as the from, reply-to, etc.  I do
that with Gmail as home and an old domain now owned by AT&T as email
address, whose hosting sucks IMHO.

If Gmail ever turns on p=reject (telling the rest of the world to bounce
non-gmail proxies from Gmail), then my scheme is hosed and I'll have to
move my surfaced email to Gmail.

I tried breaking up my email to two ID's and splitting the business, but
it's just too much trouble remembering to set the email client to different
"accounts" for different replies.  I keep forgetting to do it.  Only thing
that works for me is to have two separate different login ID's to Gmail
which does work, but won't do until I'm forced to.

73, Guy
