Re: [TML] Attention: listmom! DMARC problems Phil Pugliese 28 Apr 2014 19:22 UTC


Perhaps the 'bounces' from Yahoo accts should just be ignored from now on?

Sure it's not 'best practice' but until/unless Yahoo relents it maight just be the only solution...

 Stop and consider. My lists are a lot lower traffic. But I
 was
 getting dozens of bounce messages for *every* post by yahoo
 users. My
 list doidn't have auto-unsubscribe. But I still had to wade
 thru all
 those bounces to see if there were bounces due to things
 like people
 posting from the wrong address or if people hads closed an
 account
 without unsubscribing.

 Trust me, boiubces are a majoir PITA for list maintainers.
 The DMARC
 related ones are even worse.
