           Summary: Mitigate strict DMARC policy on the mailing lists
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: wmf-deployment

Try to become more DMARC-complient on the mailing lists to improve
deliverability, particularly given Yahoo and AOL recently switched to a policy
p=reject, preventing these users from sending emails to the mailing lists.

This bug is partly wontfix since this is linked to an upstream Mailman for a
proper resolution, but could be partly mitigated by changing some configuration
parameters, although there is no proper solution. I open this bug partly to
isolate this mailing lists issue from other DMARC-related bugs (56414, 59731,
64795), and properly tracking the issue.

Two mitigations:

1/
http://www.spamresource.com/2014/04/run-email-discussion-list-heres-how-to.html
is a way to mitigate the issue, although the main point is to change the From:
header to a fixed address like [email protected] (quite disruptive
for all users).

2/ http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg87176.html proposes to
rewrite Yahoo (+AOL) sending addresses from [email protected] to
[email protected] to bypass DMARC.
