[ih] yahoo is selectively censoring/rejecting incoming emails

It appears that the keyboard of geoff goodfellow via Internet-history <geoff at iconia.com> said:

><[xxx]@yahoo.com>

That's probably a DMARC failure.  They've been doing this since about 2014 so I don't understand
why you just noticed it now.  It's not personal, but it's quite annoying.

Do keep in mind that Yahoo's goal (actually Apollo Global Management,
which owns the remains of what used to be Yahoo and AOL) is to accept
the mail that their users want, reject the mail their users do not
want, and minimize the number of complaints. They absolutely do not
care at all about people sending them mail other than the extent to
which delivering or not delivering the mail causes complaints from
their users.
