There is an easy answer to this, that we discussed on this list over a year ago - just bring mailman up to a more recent revision. It can handle DMARC re-writing just fine.

My understanding is that we are using Mailman 2.1.15.  Mailman 2.1.20 and 3.0.0 are available.  We have not asked the Secretariat to reviewed every change, but I am told that they are comfortable that Mailman 2.1.20 is fine.  We have not looked at Mailman 3.0.0 at all.

Versions of Mailman beyond 2.1.15 have no capacity for sending out password reminders; it was removed.  Brian, you have loudly argued for this capability to be retained.

It seems to me that DMARC re-writing is a more important feature for this community.  I think we should drop support for the password messages and move to a newer version.  I'd like the tools team to check this out, and then if the newer version will not introduce other surprises, move to the newer version.

Or, one might consider a switch to a different list manager entirely. Sympa is really excellent for handling large numbers of lists, handles DMARC issues, doesn't send cleartext password reminders, is incredibly well supported.

Just a thought,
