Mailing list apps can't "implement DMARC" other than by getting rid

are useful to our users, it seems unlikely we'll do so now.
Well, Mailman 2.1.16 has the FROM_IS_LIST feature that "Fixes" the
problem by putting the list address in the From: field. That seems to
work, except that you lose information (the sender's address) if the
list wants to operate a policy of "Reply goes to list". You can then
assure that DKIM signatures are valid and set up SPF, etc. This also
has the effect of letting you operate through the various cloud email
platforms that try to validate sender addresses.
This breaks the ability to reply directly to the sender when the
response should NOT be on the list, as well as the ability to put a
sender in a personal killfile.
And don't start on suggesting Reply-To instead, RFC 2822 already
noted that it should be set by the author, not the list software [1].
