I don't understand why didn't Yahoo fail due to SPF check failure.

Considering that Yahoo doesn't really exist anymore, and that Yahoo Mail is just a relic of Yahoo's heyday that is somehow still hanging around, I assume nobody has bothered to actually maintain its handling of security protocols for about a decade.

"existing" is basically all it does. They make 8B a year and have the 12th most popular website globally.

The email product has gobbled up both AOL and Verizon and they also whitelabel to a bunch of other ISPs. Just because they are never in the news for anything cool and hackernews commenters dont use them doesnt mean they dont exist.

Yahoo mail still has plenty of users and yahoo still have many employees. It'd be borderline criminal to not have somebody at yahoo oversee their email security.
