That use of From: is against RFC5322 and its antecedents, a mailing list 
should only change/add the Sender: field.   If DMARC breaks because of this 
then its DMARC that needs to be fixed.

#  The "From:" field specifies the author(s) of the message,  that is, the
# mailbox(es) of the person(s) or system(s) responsible  for the writing
# of the message.

# The "Sender:" field specifies the  mailbox of the agent responsible
# for the actual transmission of the message.

# For example, if a secretary were to send a message for another person,
# the mailbox of the secretary would appear in the  "Sender:" field and the
# mailbox of the actual author would appear in the "From:" field.

This usage of the headers goes back to RFC822 from 1982, codified in its 
example headers.

#     A.2.2.  Secretary-sent
#     
#             George Jones logs in as Jones on his  host.   His  secre-

#        mail should go to George.
#     
#            From:    George Jones <Jones@Group>
#            Sender:  Secy@Other-Group


All the best,
