I can tell you they are right and wrong, I get protonmail replies from the list but I had to go monkey around with my spam settings to ensure they land in my inbox. What they do is have all their spam controls like dmarc and spf set to hard fail, when your service evaluates the message PLUGs mail servers are not on the allow list, your servers spam filters do what they do which for a lot of people its stuff it in the big dev null in the sky. Now the part where protonmail is wrong is they can't force my servers to do anything what they do with the info protonmail gives me is still in my control. There is little that can be done to fix this, the only real way to fix it is changing the mailman behavior to send from an address on the plug domain which has its own problems. The only reason that is the only real way is regardless of protonmail or any other service changing parts of thier spam controls mailman is still spoofing addresses and will still fail dkim and other more advanced controls, and it would honestly not be a workable solution to try and allow list serves to send as your domain. This breaks a lot of the behavior of things like listservs but spammers and advertisers once again ruin something for everyone
