i changed dmarc_moderation_action (on privacy -> senders) to munge from. that is the best option mailman offers for handling this. it changes the From: address to be the list when the sender's domain is a strict dmarc site (like yahoo.com, yahoo.fr, etc.), but not changing it for others.

https://wiki.list.org/DEV/DMARC discusses the woeful situation.

When I commit a message to the Emacs repository, a message is sent to -email is unavailable- with the content of the changes I installed.

This is good.

These messages have in the "From:" the email address of the committer.  While I find this choice convenient, it is sadly incompatible with the way SPAM is being fought nowadays.  More specifically, it means that a machine at @gnu.org sends email messages that claim to come from @iro.umontreal.ca.  Currently this still works, but more and more sites set up DMARC such that recipients will consider such messages as forgeries.

Could we change these "diffs email" so they stop pretending that those messages come from the committer?
