This is explained here: http://www.dmarc.org/faq.html#r_2

As you may have noticed, this topic creates a lot of passion, it sometimes
revolves around the "Who moved my cheese"
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Moved_My_Cheese%3F), but that does not
solve your immediate problem.

In practice, contrary to popular belief, I don't have much issues in
mailing lists, and I subscribe to a lot. DMARC receivers know when an
email come from a reputable mailing list, or a known forwarder. Look in
the DMARC aggregate reports when you are in p=none, it is written there.

Also, due to company policies, it may be better for employees to subscribe
to mailing lists using a personal email address. People may otherwise
think they represent the company they work for, and a lot of mailing lists
are public in nature.

Finally you can find lot of explanations in this document:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6377


So while in theory this can be problematic for a domain with p=reject, in
practice it can be quite minor.
