First, thanks for replying. It shows the list changes in
action. At least it appears to work as intended. :)

Yeah. DMARC isn't the primary reason for bashing Yahoo.
It's more that they have repeatedly blocked all mail from
Fedora domains after a few users signed up for a list,
forgot how to get off it, and marked it as spam. I've never
managed the Fedora domains, but I've managed others and that
sort of thing always left a lasting impression on me.

Are there (m)any ISPs that block the submission port (587)?
I know many block port 25, but if you're running your own
mail server, you really just need to do it from IP space
that you control.
For me, the worst part of having port 25 blocked these days
is that it makes it slightly harder to diagnose issues with
remote mail servers (but only very slightly).

Indeed. It's an interesting balancing act.
