Comment (by lnicola):

 Some more thoughts on this, which I've mentioned in an email before:

  - rewriting the sender is really annoying because mail clients tend to
 add the wrong name to the address book
  - it looks like Mailman prefers to strip the incoming DKIM signature;
 ours preserves it, but adds a Sender header, which invalidates the
 signature
  - stripping and re-signing is a valid option
  - the postgresql.org list manager is able to pass DKIM through just fine
  - we and postgresql.org send List-Unsubscribe headers, but some email
 clients don't like those
  - ideally (under RFC 8058), we'd have a List-Unsubscribe-Post header and
 DKIM-sign both to support the one-click thingy; of course, we have no DKIM
 at all
