And while my current use of gmail allows me to more or less get around DMARC list problems (although I need to check my incoming spam folder at least daily since mailing list DMARC failures send legitimate emails there), there’s no guarantee how long that will continue. And regarding Terry's previous paragraph, while I’m by no means an expert on DMARC (or mailman for that matter), a bit of googling tells me that there are more recent versions of mailman than what the IETF is currently using that support DMARC mitigation. See, for example, http://www.spamresource.com/2016/09/dmarc-support-in-mailman.html . Cheers, Andy
