The bounceback/spam IT Issue the email lists have been having was a known issue to the office of the ICANN IT director since Yahoo changed its spam filter to DMARC. The information in this email chain (below) was not provided to me when I signed up as a participant to ccwg-accountability. The patch to fix the issue was available in August (read conversation below). If anyone can provide me an email from August 2015 or before, from the IT director or IT Staff, which instructs the members, participants and observers of this or any mailing list that a patch or fix to the mailing list bounceback/spam issue would be tested and implemented, kindly forward that email to me.

Yes, we first started experiencing the problem back when yahoo.com changed their DMARC policy to a strict reject.
We didn’t have many yahoo.com senders on our lists surprisingly so the problem wasn’t a huge deal.
We were waiting on a vendor back port patch (CentOS via Redhat) to help with header munging for senders with strict reject DMARC policies.
The back port patch was ready back in August but we didn’t have time to fully test.
We have completed testing as of this morning and plan schedule the change for this weekend.
The change will be almost transparent with exception to senders from domains with strict reject DMARC policies.
In this case, the “from:” will be replaced with the list address and we will insert a “reply-to:” header with the senders address.
Our testing indicates this is working flawlessly with the vendor patch.
