Yahoo groups doesn't have problems with mail From: yahoo.com because
they send the mail with envelope from ... at returns.groups.yahoo.com which
passes SPF and aligns with the domain in From:, but the interesting
question is what do they do with a post From: aol.com. I haven't had
time to test that yet.

Note that google groups does the same From: munging that Mailman does,
and only for From: domains that publish DMARC p=reject.

So do we all. The Mailman development community resents as much as
anyone being forced into this "here's what *we're* doing, now *you* have
to figure out how to deal with it" bind, but that's where we are. We are
trying to talk with DMARC proponents, and we're trying to figure out how
to mitigate the effects with the least possible disruption to users and
to long term, established standards and practices.
