My experience is that this is a combination of advanced email protection 
on the sender /and/ the receiver.

E.g. the sending domain's email configuration specifies very specific 
locations combined with a receiving domain's email configuration 
honoring what the sending domain publishes.  Thus when a message passes 
through a 3rd party, saying a mailing list, the recipient refuses to 
accept the message because it's not from where the sender says the 
message is authorized to come from.

There's a lot of minutia to this and lots of ways that this can fail.

Yes, there are some things that the Gentoo Users mailing list can 
change, but do to various reasons, this isn't done all the time.

My experience is similar.

I think it's been figured out.  This is where "this isn't done all the 
time" comes into play.
