Why should anyone need to?  Of all the mailing lists I'm on, this one is
the only one that has this problem.  For instance, on the NetBSD mailing
lists, my email reaches other recipients "From:" my real email address,
and SPF, DKIM, and DMARC all check out clean.  Here are the headers from
a message I sent to a NetBSD list, as received by my own system (whereas
the message I sent to the TUHS list last night was refused by my MTA):
