There is nothing you can do as a "list owner".  You will have to talk to your 
server's admin.  "He/She/They" *have* to implement *at least* SPF and DKIM.  
ALL legit outbound mail servers *have* to implement *at least* SPF and DKIM.

If your server's admin can't / won't do this, your only other option is to 
move your list to a different server.
