Does iCloud support DMARC? I can't find any information that states either way.

The article, and Bimmered's comment, should recognize that Yahoo developed Domain Keys (and holds the patent, which it made open) and was a main participant in developing DKIM. It has used the protocol for years (Gmail picked it up too). Further, Yahoo is a founding contributor to the DMARC specification.

Did not know this news, sounds helpful. Yahoo already much aware about mail spam and misuse, only few days inactivation makes yahoo mail deleted. Blackhatters , email marketers infestation seems has made yahoo to go for this strict algo.

Thanks
