Hello,

the DMARC Mitigation action “Replace From: with list address” is
evaluated in mailman/handlers/dmarc.py:munged_headers().  In the case,
where From: is a non-member email address, without display part, which
non-member may post, this happens: 

realname = email
realname = re.sub(r'@([^ .]+\.)+[^ .]+$', '---', realname)
with _.using(mlist.preferred_language.code):
    via = _('${realname} via ${mlist.display_name}')
display_name = str(Header(via, mlist.preferred_language.charset))
value = [('From', formataddr((display_name, mlist.posting_address)))]

In short, if a@b is a non-member, who may post to mailing list “E
<c@d>”, and b is DMARC-protected, the final distrubuted email will have

From: "a--- via E <c@d>"
Reply-To: a@b

compare to the IETF mailing lists, which would send:
From: <a=40b@d>   where a and b are from a@b, d is from c@d

The bottom of https://answers.uillinois.edu/illinois/page.php?id=86787
describes the mitigariton options offered by Sympa:

display name
  From:  User Name <listn...@lists.illinois.edu>

display name and e-mail
  From:  “User Name”  (userem...@address.com) <
listn...@lists.illinois.edu >

email “via Mailing List”
  From:  “User Name”  (userem...@address.com via listName Mailing List)
<listn...@lists.illinois.edu>

name “via Mailing List”
  From:  “User Name” <listn...@lists.illinois.edu>
(the website likely means:)
  From:  “User Name via listName” <listn...@lists.illinois.edu>


As can be seen, the other MLMs do not replace domains with --- .  I
find ugly the --- , inserted by mailman.  In my real-world case the
From: is a...@example.org, the ML name is a...@l.example.org (localname
is the same, the domains are different).  The result is:

From: aaa--- via Aaa <a...@l.example.org>

So there is twice trippe-A and @example.org disappeared.  Mentioning
twice AAA in the display name in this case really has to added value.

That said, I propose removing now the line

realname = re.sub(r'@([^ .]+\.)+[^ .]+$', '---', realname)

and in the future offer as options:
  From:  User Name <listn...@lists.illinois.edu>
  From:  “User Name”  (userem...@address.com) <
listn...@lists.illinois.edu >
  From:  “User Name”  (userem...@address.com via listName Mailing List)
<listn...@lists.illinois.edu>
  From:  “User Name via listName” <listn...@lists.illinois.edu>
