Yahoo's DMARC policy sucks

[Derek Trotter]

I thought I wasn't having any trouble with messages arriving, but then I 
logged into gmail via the web and checked my spam folder.  All that was 
in there were messages from this list and one other.  I checked them all 
and clicked the not spam button.  It said they were moved to the inbox.  
All were yahoo addresses except one from Hans.  Strange that all his 
other messages would make it but Google's spam filters would catch one.

Is there a punishment too severe for spammers?  I think not.
