Some mailing lists do not change messages in such a way to invalidate 
the DKIM signature.  I don't think we can expect mailing lists to 
change their behavior.  I don't see a change of the From address 
being adopted given that the field denotes the author of the message.

In my opinion, a strict policy would be more appropriate for direct 
communication (non-mailing list traffic).
