Brian - I'm with you in that the DMARC policies are new (and confusing ) to me. But can you state if the following boiler plate language is being added by your list server or somewhere else during the hops:
>> The original message to the list is in the attachment. >> >> This action is required because of the DMARC Reject/Quarantine Policy >> imposed by some email providers. Users who want to send messages >> without conversion to attachments should use a different email >> address for their subscription. >> >> Known providers for free email accounts whose emails do not require >> this conversion include gmail.com and hotmail.com. Many other email >> providers will also work but you will have to give them a try.

Some ISPs like Yahoo.com have decided to impose DMARC policies (no I do not know what they are so please do not ask). The impact of those on mailing lists means that mail to mailing lists from subscribers using yahoo.com cannot be modified when re-transmitted as a mail message from the list. Our software does that by making the original message from those subscribers an attachment to a message from the list. As we explain in the text of the messages (which we added so you do not get an empty message with just an attachment) it is the subscriber from ISPs with this DMARC policy who has to change providers to avoid having their messages converted to attachments. We even give suggestions on who they can use but we do not force them to change.
