My $0.02?  Put it back to sane, and screw those email addresses.  Those
DMARC rules were obviously ill-conceived, if they don't properly accomodate
mailing lists in the traditional fashion.  Let the users complain to their
providers, or seek sane providers for their email.

I personally think it makes mailing lists a lot less viable.
