The reason for the change is the yahoo DMARC policy change which results in 
anyone using yahoo for mail to get bounced.  So changing it back excludes 
anyone using yahoo from participating.  Every mailing list has been similarly 
affected.  It's just a matter of time before gmail and others follow yahoo.

I have suggested changes to the rewriting of the "From:" line similar to what 
the Illumos lists are doing i.e. "Joe User via 
OpenIndiana-Discuss@OpenIndiana.org" <.OpenIndiana-Discuss@OpenIndiana.org>.   
However there has been no response from the mailing list admins.

 It looks like, about a week ago,
 something was changed on the server that makes all messages
 say they're from "Discussion list for OpenIndiana" instead
 of saying who they're from.
 
 Would it be possible, pretty please, to put it back?
 
 If the desire is to filter messages, there's already the
 [OpenIndiana-discuss] tag in the subject that makes it easy
 to filter.
 
 If the goal is to improve something like SPF compatibility -
 I can perhaps help find this setting - but other mailing
 lists that I participate on say "From 
somel...@someorg.org<mailto:somel...@someorg.org>
 on behalf of Joe User <joeu...@joesdomain.com>"
 and that works very well.  Because it doesn't get
 classified as a SPF fail, yet the From and Reply To fields
 get properly populated, and the mail client (I'm using
 Outlook) display the From properly...
 
 If the goal is something else ... What is the goal?
 
 Thanks...
