I am having issue that Yahoo emails are not reaching recipients. I am getting an error message but after 24hrs not even straight after. It's only come to my attention because in follow up calls, they are telling me that the emails never arrived..
Please advise me how to sort it out as is very important I can reach those yahoo recipients.
Your message couldn't be delivered. Despite repeated attempts to contact the recipient's email system it didn't respond.
Contact the recipient by some other means (by phone, for example) and ask them to tell their email admin that it appears that their email system isn't accepting connection requests from your email system. Give them the error details shown below. It's likely that the recipient's email admin is the only one who can fix this problem.

Hi Ron6576
I have a .co.uk domain through godaddy and am having the yahoo send (and more recently receive) issue.
Please can you help me from stage one? (IT is fairly amateur level).
Regards
Craig

That's correct. You will be getting reports at the email address defined in the rua tag. The reports won't be from yahoo alone. They may come from many other mail providers. All you gotta do is create a DMARC and wait for reports to flow into the mailbox.
Thanks. And upon more reading, I realized I don't need to treat the Yahoo recipient as a "guinea pig" sending a bunch of test messages and asking for results. I just need to review the DMARC reports that will be automatically emailed to me.
Appreciate it!
Yahoo requirement says you only need SPF or DKIM (unless you're a bulk sender) https://senders.yahooinc.com/best-practices/?guccounter=1
I would still create all of them, SPF, DMARC and DKIM if I were you. Start with p=none and review your DMARC reports. You can increase the policy to p=quarantine and finally p=reject at some point.
Many thanks to Kevin. I was getting rejects from Yahoo and I found his DKIM post from page 4 and it resolved the issue--emails are going through now!
But question for him, Ron, Theo, and any of you other admin types...
I checked with easydmarc and I have SPF set up, but I do *NOT* have DMARC set up. Do I need it? Note: I am not a bulk sender. This is my personal email account (I just happen to have bought my last name as my domain name).
The instructions for DMARC recommend an iterative test process and monitoring results as you go... The only person I know with a Yahoo email is someone I'd prefer not to use as a test subject unless absolutely necessary.
