Radu,

This became a problem with yahoo (and some other domains) last year. There
was some lengthy discussion around this on this list, I seem to remember.

Take a look at http://www.sympa.org/manual/dmarc which explains the issue
further.

If you are running a recent version of sympa, (6.1.22 or higher), then a
patch was provided to solve this issue.

In particular, take a look at the 'dmarc_protection_mode' parameter (and
related parameters)
http://www.sympa.org/manual_6.1/conf-parameters/part3#dmarc

You need to be running 6.1.22 or higher (maybe a reason to upgrade? :-) )

Hope this helps.
