I'm inclined to agree with Jim on this.   We've had another customer 
running a notable Mailman list for some time that has been running into 
deliverability problems as other providers jump onboard with DMARC.

It's a PITA, to be sure, but since Mailman has options to work around 
this, I agree the request is reasonable, in the interest of ensuring 
communication with users even though we may not be fans of their 
provider's choice.

Have it at the house, myself.  It's been about on par with the cable 
company, and I don't think I have *ever* used the email they supply. 
Having a friend who works in that department there has scared me away 
from ever using it.  But the connectivity has been, overall, very decent.

Should I be saying "ouch?"  :)
