[LINK] dmarc and mailing list issues

[Scott Howard]

Don't let one poorly configured (by today's standards) mailing list put you
off using DMARC...

The Link list does several things that were common many years ago, but are
not best practices today as they cause DMARC/DKIM to fail (such as
modifying the subject)

The real solution (or at least, the nearest thing to it) is ARC, but that
also isn't implemented by this list.
