Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.15-1
Severity: grave

The introduction of DMARC by certain email-clients has severely crippled the use of mailman, making the current version in wheezy, virtually unusablewith numerous accounts getting critical bounced with a single email.  See the following link for more information.

To solve this problem for users of debian-stable, I suggest adding a more recent version of mailman (as noted within the link) to backports, either:
a) 2.1.16-2 (the easiest as it already exists in jessie) or
b) 2.1.18 as this gives a better fix of the problem according to the above link.

-- System Information:
Debian Release: wheezy
