Well, maybe someone like Miles should consider writing an I-D "DMARC
considered harmful", which advises users impacted by Yahoo's diastrous
implementation of DMARC to find another e-mail provider.

Perhaps the metaphorical swatting the nose of these other groups with
a newspaper will help encourage them to avoid abusing the IETF's
reputation in order to market their specification.

Hmm. Good idea. Though I think John Levine's piece pretty much IS "DMARC considered harmful" - just needs to be titled!

Yahoo breaks every mailing list in the world including the IETF's

As are some of Hector Santos' posts to various lists, re. the recent debacle.

Both of whom are probably far more qualified to address the technical details (on this one, I can talk primarily from the perspective of operational pain, and having to deal with the fallout).

John, Hector - want to collaborate on a "DMARC considered harmful" Internet draft?
