I say this is a bug in mailman.   The proper configuration is not to
munge the subject or the body, and it seems this list is set up that
way.  My MTA gave a DKIM pass to Regina's mail as received from the list
(as signed by pcorp.us).

The from munging should only happen when a list is (mis-)configured to
munge bodies.  But perhaps it is a separate setting and just needs
adjusting.

I see semi-random failures for DKIM sigs to validate from time to time.
