I did check the mailman source code and it does leave the
user name mostly untouched.  So (presuming @example.com has
a DMARC 'reject' policy),

    From: Some User <someu...@example.com>
    
would be changed to

    From: Some User via users <users@lists.fedoraproject.org>

Or you'll notice replies to messages you've not seen. :)

Maybe we'll be lucky and everyone will move off @yahoo.com,
giving the infrastructure team a nice present.
