Actually, DMARC is intended to address spoofing of domains and needs to
be configured by the domain owner publishing a DMARC policy.

DMARC checks won't help prevent posts that spoof a member address unless
every list member's domain publishes a DMARC policy of quarantine or
reject, and even then it only checks the From: domain and not the domain
of other addresses Mailman might use to determine list membership.

Further, a post with spoofed local part sent by someone in the same
domain might pass DMARC if sent via the domain's servers.
