Are DomainKeys for e-mail signing dead?

Ah, that problem.

I'd strongly suggest a shim in front of LISTSERV that checks for DMARC
policies other than p=none and rejects the incoming mail, simply to
protect other members of the list.  Otherwise people who follow DMARC
advice will reject list mail and get bounced off the list.  Yes, this
actually happens.
