It's in MM 2.1 and it's in my dmarc branch MR
<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/merge_requests/215>. The list has
dmarc_moderation_action with possible values none, munge_from,
wrap_message, reject or discard.

The default reason is not what Steve proposes. The default is in
mailman/rules/dmarc.py per

        reason = (mlist.dmarc_moderation_notice or
                  _('You are not allowed to post to this mailing '
                    'list From: a domain which publishes a DMARC '
                    'policy of reject or quarantine, and your message'
                    ' has been automatically rejected.  If you think '
                    'that your messages are being rejected in error, '
                    'contact the mailing list owner at ${listowner}.'))
        msgdata['moderation_reasons'] = [wrap(reason)]

As it is, the list can supply its own reason. The default could of
course be changed or made a configuration setting.
