Greetings,

Last week I was having a conversation with a familiar person on this
mailing list and I was expressing my disappointment with the
negativity towards Yahoo[1] and AOL[2] for "breaking" email. I was
encouraged to share these thoughts on this list.

I believe email is already broken[3][4][5][6] and DMARC "p=reject"
moves us towards a position where email is "less" broken. Will there
be some bumps[7] along the road? Sure but a few bumps are no reason to
leave email in it's current state.

I applaud Yahoo and AOL for taking the first few punches and I look
forward to the day when Google and Microsoft follow their lead.

Thank you for all the hard work you have done to improve the state of
email!

Gabriel Iovino
