We have been having a fairly extended discussion, much of which seems hypothetical - “I don’t like DEMARC because I am worried that ... with mailing lists”. I wonder if we could take a moment to try it and see what happens?
Ummm..... yahoo changed their dmarc policy to p=reject, lots of mailing lists broke. What experiment is it that you think we need to run?
I guess we’re running it. I was hoping to avoid the “everything around broke” part.
Well.. I can certainly tell you that, as someone who supports a couple
of dozen email lists, an awful lot broke - both for my users (who shared
their pain with me) and for me, as an administrator. Lots of things
stopped working, for lots of people, overnight - to me that fits the
definition of "broke."
