Thank you.  I tried to make them so that people could understand, even 
if they choose to disagree.

Yes!!!  Mailman (and other MLMs) /can/ be configured to be SPF / DKIM / 
DMARC compliant!

I don't have the exact step by step details.  -  I'm sure others 
(Mark...) on this list can give specifics on /how/ to configure Mailman.

The high level as I understand it is to do the following:

1) Set dmarc_moderation_action to munge From header.
2) Set REMOVE_DKIM_HEADERS to Yes (1) or 2 or 3.
3) Send messages from the list address.  I recommend VERP.

Doing those three things ensures that messages leaving the mailing list 
do not violate the original sending domain's SPF / DKIM / DMARC security 
settings.

I would suggest that you also consider adding SPF / DKIM / DMARC for the 
domain of the mailing list to apply similar protections to outgoing 
messages.  However that is not necessary to avoid undesired bounces.
