This is a well-known problem, and no I don't intend to bite the bullet
and work around it for our mailing lists just yet, although I expect to
be forced to eventually.
For now, I recommend that you avoid posting from domains with strict
DMARC policy.
BTW, the problem isn't with "envelope sender" (as you put in the
Subject). Our mailing lists properly rewrite envelope sender, using the
lists.openwall.com domain in there. The problem is with header From,
which we leave intact. Working around this would in fact involve us
starting to spoof header From.
