Hi Peter, To answer your question, Dreamhost has the *almost* newest version of MailMan 2.1.17. They upgraded just as 2.1.18 came out and had already tested 2.1.17 so they went with that. And this version does have the most important DMARC mitigation features. So it is working for us. I have

I'm surprised that any web/email host would apply a rule intended for a personal email account to a listserve. I'm guessing that you are running MailMan on your own computer, then using mail server provided by your email hosting company to send the messages. So to the email host, you do look

No, it's all hosted via cpanel. Does this mail per hour limit seem odd with that sort of setup? Does dreamhost keep their mailman up to date? We're still on 2.1.15, and when I asked about upgrading, they wouldn't commit to any date, only that it would be more likely to be months than a month.
