Example bounces due to Yahoo p=reject

There are a number of different bounces that people are reporting due to Yahoo publishing a DMARC record of p=reject. I decided to put some of those bounces here so confused users could find out what they needed to do.

What can you do if you get one of these bounces?
Endusers can do a couple things. For one-to-one mail make sure you’re using the Yahoo outgoing mail servers and that should fix the problem without you having to really make any change. For email to mailing lists you’ll need to switch to an email address at another domain for that mailing list.
If you’re sending mail through an ESP, you’re going to need to change your header-from address to something other than a @yahoo.com address. This is going to break some things, unfortunately, but as long as Yahoo is publishing this record, you’re not going to be able to use Yahoo.com addresses for your commercial mail.
