OSGeo administrators have identified that emails sent by users from some domains were marked as spam when received on email acounts hosted by gmail or other providers being strict on DMARC (don't ask me more about what this is!). According to their recommandation, I've just changed the tiff@ mailing list setting of the 'dmarc_mitigate_action' parameter of mailman to 'munge_from' (see https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/release-3.1/src/mailman/handlers/docs/dmarc-mitigations.html ). The effect of this is to rewrite the "From" part of the email to not be the original sender but "<sender name> via <mailing list name>", and its email in CC instead.

On other OSGeo hosted mailing lists, it has been observed that doing so solves
some issues.

(Yes, I understand DMARC.)

If this is being done on from domains that do not do DMARC rejection, that's a bug as it makes everthing awkward. I know there is reply-to, but because so many lists misconfigure reply-to I at least am set up to ignore it on lists.

In other words, please set

  dmarc_mitigate_unconditionally = false

I would also suggest:

but I realize other people think that munging the messages is a feature, even though it breaks signatures.
