But that's not the problem -- I'm sure emails that Emanuel is sending
directly from Gnus via Zoho's SMTP servers are not causing anyone any
trouble.

The problem is emails he's sending to this mailing list: they were once
sent on from the mailing list's server, but with Emanuel's address in
the envelope from, which is exactly what Zoho's DMARC policy doesn't
allow. Now the mailing list is configured so that, when it sees that
policy in place, it uses the mailing list itself in the envelope from
instead, which is legal.

At least, I hope I've understood that correctly!

What I had assumed was, if we're all using nntp, this might not be an
issue. But obviously there's much I don't know, as well!
