I think 2 years back I had a long discussion with Greg about this and
since then I al submitting patches like this. A small summayg of the
problem from that discussion:
"we have strict DMARC check for the corporate mail server. DMARC =
domain based message authentication.
So the mail i sent reached all the list subscriber from a different
server than our designated server, and as a result it is marked as spam
in many places and I have already received a few complaints regarding
that."
