Paul,
You need to translate this technical philosophy into client/server
protocol rule which means that the authoring domain has authorized
resigning with a DMARC policy. Otherwise, its will be detected as an
unauthorized signer, spoofed mail.
No, all you need to do is admit that the mailing list server sent the
message that came from the mailing list server - so set that to be the
From/return-path.
No. If I have a secretary make 20 copies of a letter, and drop it off at
the post office, I'm still the author of the message. A secretary,
forwarder, mailing list, what have you, is acting on my behalf, as my
agent. The letter is from me, and the return address should be mine.
(In effect, when I set reply-to to list, or a mailing list sets reply-to
list, is that I'm asking/expecting that everyone who got the original
letter, gets a copy of any reply.)
