Presumably you have configured your own domain for DMARC/DKIM/SPF.

No.  The From: remains you (as it should)  and the MAIL FROM (aka
Return-Path:) is set to a NetBSD.org address, so that bounces go to the
list software, not the author.

SPF is required to check Return-Path: rather than From:.   I suggest you
read this in its entirety, but see especially 1.1.3, 2.3, 2.4, 11.2:

  https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7208

Your message (that I am replying to) arrived at my server and passed
both SPF and DKIM validation.

It could be that some validators are not doing SPF correctly.

I note that in your report there also seem to be DKIM failures.  But
your message and Ottavio's  both passed DKIM at my verifier.


Are you finding that every DMARC verifier fails?  Or just some?
