I've tried to look into this and it looks like our set up should be OK.
We enabled SPF (i.e., a rule stating that only our mailserver can send
e-mail with our domain in "From:") and DKIM (i.e., our mailserver signs
certain portions of the e-mail). We also enabled DMARC which
coordinates the two.

Now, as far as I understand, mailing lists can either rewrite the
"From" header (as qemu-devel does) or leave it as it is. In the latter
situation, SPF will fail but DMARC should instruct MTAs to check
DKIM, and that should pass.

DKIM signature can be corrupted in case the mailing list tampers with
the subject or the body of the e-mail, but this doesn't seem to be the
case: I've tried to manually verify the DKIM signature of the same
e-mail that I got both from the mailing list and directly from the
sender (I was in Cc), and they both verify correctly.

tl;dr I *think* rewriting the From header should not be necessary for
our domain.

If you guys think this is not the case and there's something we can do
to improve the situation (other than adding gmail.com to our SPF
record), let me know.
