Thanks Marc,
We don't use personalized messages but the DMARC mitigation could be an issue.
Thanks for the info!
Regards,
Christina

You can use that field for anything you want. The biggest potential downside I see is when DMARC mitigation is applied to a message. If the original post is
From: John Doe <jdoe at example.com>
the DMARC mitigated message will be
From: John Doe via list <list at example.com>
However, if the original is
From: jdoe at example.com
without a display name, the DMARC mitigated message will be
From: xxx via list <list at example.com>
where xxx is the contents of that field. A similar situation occurs when a list is fully personalized so each post is addressed To: the recipient. In that case the post sent to jdoe at example.com will be addressed
To: xxx <jdoe at example.com>
where xxx is again the contents of that field.
