We have struggled with this on linux.ozlabs.org as well.  It turns out
that Mailman v2 does not play nicely with DMARC not matter how you
configure it - under some conditions it will change the Cc: list and
add things to the Subject: or a footer.  The best you can do is
configure it to replace the original From header address with the
list's address and turn off the subject prefix and footers.

We have decided to replace Mailman v2 with Mlmmj (Mailman v3 seems
overkill for our setup) and ar slowly migrating our lists.  Mlmmj does
not (when configured correctly) alter emails in any significant way and
so DMARC setups are no longer an issue.  It also has significantly
smaller overheads, but has no real web interface (all control is via
emails, and not a lot is controllable).
