In yahoo's case they implements a set of rules known as DMARC that
mailing lists end up tripping. The problem isn't that they implemented
DMARC it's that they make it completely accept or reject rather than
have it effect an overall score of the email and then accept or reject
messages based on that score.
My personal opinion is that if someone is sent a message they should
receive that message. Any spam filters should simply classify a message
as spam or not and then allow the end user to deal with it.
"Sorry for the late reply, you message went into my spam folder" is way
better that "I don't get it, people say they are sending me stuff but
I"m not getting it"
