We don't know, and can't know until Mailman servers start getting
blacklisted for this reason.

Actually, From: domains can request reports even if DMARC p=none. It is
unclear what might be done with these reports, but given what some
domains have done with DMARC already, I for one would not be surprised
if this information was used to color the reputation of the sending server.

Note that currently, Yahoo.com only requests aggregate reports which *I
think* do not identify the sending server, but AOL.com requests failure
reports as well which are intended to identify servers and actual senders.
