Late to the party, but the version of Mailman that Debian supports
doesn't yet include the 'from_is_list' capability. I'm waiting
anxiously for a .deb packaged version of the latest release, and will
install that as soon as it shows up. (I don't want to install from .tgz
and lose the Debian update capacity.)
Paul Davis said the following on 05/06/2014 01:57 PM:
I dont know if John knows it or not, but in Mailman (the time-nuts list manager
software), setting the variable ‘from_is_list’ to Yes causes the From: address
to be replaced by the list address ([email protected]). That should solve any
problems caused by DMARC implementation. It could be an inconvenience if
people are filtering by who’s sending the messages to the list.

Apologies for the off topic post but I suspect this will affect some other
list members as well as those also using Yahoo groups, so thought it worth
sharing.
Following some recent email spoof attacks both AOL and Yahoo have revised
their DMARC settings to "Reject".
For anyone not familiar with this there's information available online,
but basically, for example, any email that's attempted to be delivered to an
AOL address that is indicating it's from that or another AOL address but
that doesn't actually identify as originating directly from an AOL mail
server will be rejected and/or bounced.
I hope that makes sense:-)
What this does mean for any AOL time-nuts users who choose to receive
individual emails is that they will no longer receive copies of their own posts
or any submitted by other AOL users because AOL, in its infinite wisdom,
sees these as a spoof and rejects them.
I became aware of this a week or so ago and had just taken to monitoring
the list archives for any posts I might have missed but hadn't considered
any further implications until this morning when I received an automated
notice from the list stating that my membership had been disabled due to
excessive bounces and that I would need to re-enable it, with a warning that in
the longer term it could result in permanent closure of membership if the
excessive bounces continue.
Obviously this is fundamentally an AOL problem, I'm not suggesting it to
be a list issue as such, and I've now switched my list email settings to
receive just the daily digest in the hopes that this will avoid future
problems with individual emails, but if anyone does know of a work around that
will allow individual emails to be received, whilst still avoiding the
bounces, then I'd be very happy to hear of it.
