This is my rewrite hack which approximately nobody does. I do it on my
handful of lists, the IETF does with custom code, and commercial
LISTSERV has an option to rewrite the address into <hash>@list.domain.
To do so, the list software has to be able to futz with the
configuration of the underlying MTA to manage the forwarding, and
places running list software like Mailman and Sympa on top of postfix
can't do that. (I think LISTSERV has a built in MTA but it is quite
expensive.)

What it does *not* say is to put the list address in the From header
which is the ugly hack that list software has resorted to.  See endless
prior discussions of why that makes lists worse.

Barry is right. If you don't care about interoperability, you can and
will do whatever you want, but if you do, you don't set a DMARC policy
on domains that send mail from people.
