The "From:" field could contain the full address of the original poster, not just his name. That's how things were before the change, IIUC. But, AFAIU, that had to change because some mail servers would refuse to serve mail whose "From:" address differed from the "sender" field (which is the list address in our case). Am I describing this correctly ? I wonder how others handle this situation (in particular, how mailman and similar tools deal with this themselves), given how frequent a use-case this is...

With the old system, many people were having issues with DMARC filtering emails as-if they were spoof'd. In the recent couple years many corporate accounts have moved to utilize DMARC as part of their inbound authentication and the popularity continues to increase. Unfortunately, Mail Lists normally break because the original sender's domain DKIM signature doesn't match the Mail List. The most popular work around is rewriting the From header field. We are doing that in the most basic manner. We can consider some other possible changes; however, it is impolite to modify the From field with an address that would indicate an individual but represents the entire list. -- Michael Caisse Ciere Consulting ciere.com
