Isn't it the other way around? They don't want their users to be able to send to mailing lists. They receive traffic from the lists just fine. Their policy considers only effects mail originating from their users. Yahoo subscribers can receive messages form nanog just fine, but they can't send to it.

I don't see what the big deal is here.  They don't want your messages and they made that clear.  Their policy considers 
these messages spam.  If you really want to get your mailing list messages through, then you need to evade their filters just 
like every other spammer has to.

Well... how about this, from Yahoo's own posting:
We know there are about 30,000 affected email sending services, but we also know that the change needed to support our 
new DMARC policy is important and not terribly  difficult to implement.

To me - this sure looks, smells, and quacks like a denial-of-service attack against a system I operate, and the 
subscriber to the lists that I support -- somewhat akin to exploding a bomb in a public square, and then taking credit 
for it.
