Not the best solution.


The problem has two pieces.

1 of 2: Elliot's domain has a strongly asserted DMARC policy ('p=reject'):

Liten-Datamaskin:~ rick$ dig -t txt _dmarc.mongodb.com +short
mongodb.com.hosted.dmarc-report.com.
"v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:1eed4417@mxtoolbox.dmarc-report.com,mailto:dmarc_agg@vali.email,mailto:dmarc_reports@mongodb.com; ruf=mailto:1eed4417@forensics.dmarc-report.com,mailto:dmarc_reports@mongodb.com"
Liten-Datamaskin:~ rick$

2 of 2: ...and Stefano elects to receive his subscription copies at
GMail, which complies with (enforces) sending domains' DMARC policies
for all arriving inbound mail. Hence, when the license-review MLM
(mailing list manager) redirector sends Stefano a copy of Elliot's mail
with rewritten headers, upon arrival GMail finds that it no longer
complies with mongodb.com's DMARC policy, and as requested rejects it as
a forgery.

DMARC (when fully enforced, as GMail does) is causing headaches for MLM
software all over the planet, resulting in refused deliveries and
(consequent) high bounce scores and subscriber autoremovals whenever
those two conditions occur. Fortunately, recent versions of Mailman
support an effective mitigation (via header kludging) that sidesteps the
problem. I've written offlist to OSI's listadmins to advise how to
enable that mitigation.

(Why, yes, I do administer Mailman in a bunch of places. Thanks
for noticing.)
