Here's the latest version of the stub for an MD filter to handle the 
DMARC issues.  Thanks to DFS and Roaring Penguin for the utf8 code.

In order to permit your email through to the mailing list, we have rewritten the From address to a do-not-reply address.  Depending on the list configuration, you may not receive replies and will need to monitor the list.  Additionally, this may delay your email as it will require manual intervention by the list moderator to approve.

We apologize for the inconvenience but the cause of the issue rests squarely and solely on your email provider.  We recommend you consider a free Google account available at http://www.gmail.com/.
