Yahoo's DMARC policy sucks

Apparently, so is gmail... (and maybe for similar or "analogous" reasons.)
I use gmail [since circa late 2005] and I found this message in my "Junk
mail" (or 'spam') folder, there on gmail.

I don't keep up with (reading) PLUG-DISCUSS as often as I used to ... but
any time I want to, if I really do want to read it, then (no matter) even
if the robots are starting to categorize messages like this as "junk" mail
-- (a "false positive", IMHO) -- I could always go read the messages on the
archive, on the server.

I don't think I've been "dropped from the list" [yet], .. but, thanks for
the HEADS-UP! :-) !

Just my 0.02 ... YMMV ...

PS: Regards to many of my old friends -- (whom I probably have not seen /
e-mailed, in a long time) --
