I did check the mailman source code and it does leave the
user name mostly untouched. So (presuming @example.com has
a DMARC 'reject' policy),
From: Some User <someuser(a)example.com>
would be changed to
From: Some User via users <users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org>

That seems to be a sensible change. Perhaps one or two
yahoo.com users
could post here just to check it's working and we
gmail.com users can
see their messages.
Of course as long as nothing appears we'll have to keep checking HK to
see if we're missing something ...
Or you'll notice replies to messages you've not seen. :)
Maybe we'll be lucky and everyone will move off @yahoo.com,
giving the infrastructure team a nice present.
