I tried using include:mutt.org in my SPF record so that the mailing list's SPF 
would be included. I'm not sure if it worked though.

Ahhh, I misunderstood how the DMARC record works. I want to get aggregate 
reports to see when things fail (since very few servers actually send out 
forensic reports right now), so I'll have to leave rua on and just deal with 
the DMARC reports.

Since there's no way to quell the aggregate reports (since, as you said, they 
send them out regardless), I'll leave those on to make sure my email is passing 
and then probably disable the rua parameter. This is the first time I'm 
extensively using my custom domain in the "Real World"™, so I want to be sure 
everything works as expected. Thanks for the clarification!

Sincerely,

Chiraag

In fact, I think the DMARC problem is unsolvable.

I am running a mail server of my own. In the DMARC report I received,
all the detections of SPF records form the mail forwarded through
mailing list were fail (some dkim records also fail, like
lists.claws-mail.org, it will modify your email subject).

This is an obvious problem. As a forwarder, the mailing list is
"pretending" to be us sending emails (The From field in the mail forwarded
through the mailing list is still us). Add ip address of the
mailing list to your SPF record may solve the problem, but I don’t think
you can add the ip addresses of all mailing lists. Unless you can
guarantee that you will not join new mailing lists, you have to modify
the SPF records frequently.

If you just don’t want to receive tons of DMARC reports, I don’t think 
you should set the rua item in your DMARC records. "rua" is used for 
aggregate feedback, even if your spf and dkim are both pass in auth 
results, they will still send a DMARC reports to you(at least for gmail).

Yes, I can see what the records are using a variety of methods (including those 
sites). However, it's hard for me to tell if sending emails to this list will 
trigger DMARC records due to SPF, and those sites don't help with that. 
Regardless, I *think* this should be fixed after editing my SPF record.

You can use some free online tools, like:
http://www.mail-tester.com/
https://dkimvalidator.com/

They all include detection of SPF records.

Testing updated record :P

By the way, if anyone has a better way of testing whether an SPF record is 
working correctly, please let me know! I don't really want to spam the list 
with these kinds of emails unless I have to, although I *think* this should 
work.
