Try this from the Wikipedia entry that author "The Bat Beta" posted on Tue, 24 Jul 2018 10:38:19 +0200: QUOTE Mailing lists Mailing lists are a frequent cause of legitimate breakage of the original author's domain DKIM signature. They routinely change the SPF-authenticated domain, and therefore break DMARC alignment. John Levine, a well known mail expert, has collected a list of all the not-so-broken possible workarounds.[18] Several mailing lists software now propose various options to deal with members posting from a domain with p=reject. For instance Mailman 2.1.16 (16 October 2013) and onward have such options.[4] From: rewriting One of the most popular and least intrusive workarounds consists in rewriting the From: header field. The original author's address can then be added to the Reply-To: field.[19] Rewriting can range from just appending .INVALID[note 2] to the domain name, to allocating a temporary user ID to forward replies through the list;[note 3] where an opaque ID is used, this keeps the user's "real" email address private from the list. In addition, the display name can be changed so as to show both the author and the list (or list operator).[21] Those examples would result, respectively, in one of: From: John Doe <[email protected]> From: John Doe <[email protected]> From: John Doe via MailingList <[email protected]> and Reply-To: John Doe <[email protected]> The Last line, Reply-To: has to be designed in order to accommodate reply-to-author functionality, in case reply-to-list function is covered by the preceding change in the From: header field. That way, the original meaning of those fields is reversed. Altering the author is not fair in general, and can break the expected relationship between meaning and appearance of that datum. It also breaks automated use of it. There are communities which use mailing lists to coordinate their work, and deploy tools which use the From: field to attribute authorship to attachments.[22] . UNQUOTE Otherwise, mailing lists will become unusable and hence a thing of the past. -- Cheers, Thomas.
