Turns out Dreamhost hasn't figured out yet how to wrap or chain mailing
list messages properly using encrypted authentication. That's a bit
disappointing, but it sounds like it's been a major problem for many
mailing lists. (See:
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-levine-dmarc-listugh-01.html)
Dreamhost currently has the following documentation about DMARC and mailing
lists:


https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215029308-Manage-a-Discussion-List

In the "from_is_list setting" section, they say that you can get around the
DMARC problem by selecting the "Munge From" radio button under General
Settings.
While "Wrap Message" sounds like what you want, they have a big warning
that you should under no circumstances click the "Wrap Message" button as
it is currently broken! I expect eventually they'll get wrapping or ARC
chaining working.

I think Munging is probably the best you can do with Dreamhost for now, but
it does have potential downsides, such as making it hard for certain mail
readers to show who a message is truly from.

P.S. Obligatory on-topic message: I was trying to figure out how
Compuserve's Backgammon game worked on the Model 100 since I was curious
how it sent the graphics. I stumbled across Brian K. White's nifty M100SIG
archive of Compuserve circa 1996
<https://github.com/LivingM100SIG/Living_M100SIG> which is a treasure trove
of historical artifacts. Unfortunately, other than Backgammon being
mentioned in some forum discussions, it is not available in that archive.
