The issue with @yahoo.com and DMARC is not the @yahoo.com users' ability 
to receive mail, it's their ability to send mail to the list with From: 
*@yahoo.com and have it be received by list subscribers who implement 
strict DMARC policies which honor Yahoo!'s p=reject.

It's not clear how setting the @yahoo.com users to digest mode helps 
this situation at all.
