I took a different approach.  I left the bounce detection on
but switched all @yahoo.com accounts to digest mode.  Since
the mail now comes from the list instead of the @yahoo.com
sender there are no rejections.   Not a perfect solution but
it prevents harm to non-@xxxxxxxxx list participants.

IMO, this is quite elegant.  The Yahoo users continue to get the
messages, you don't get cluttered by rejection-related
complaints, and those Yahoo users who don't like the digest form
can take it up with Yahoo or find other accounts to use.

The issue with @yahoo.com and DMARC is not the @yahoo.com users' ability to receive mail, it's their ability to send mail to the list with From: *@yahoo.com and have it be received by list subscribers who implement strict DMARC policies which honor Yahoo!'s p=reject.

It's not clear how setting the @yahoo.com users to digest mode helps this situation at all.
