The reason for this is because whoever configured the mail setup for
discourse.org configured it to give mailinglists big trouble. It has a
DMARC policy of p=reject:
$ dig _dmarc.discourse.org TXT
[...snip...]
;; ANSWER SECTION:
_dmarc.discourse.org. 300 IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=reject;
rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@discourse.org; ruf=mailto:dmarc@discourse.org"
Note the "p=reject". This causes heavy trouble for mailinglists. For
further information, see:
* Yahoo's New DMARC Policy Destroys Every Mailing List across the World
* DEV/DMARC - Mailman Wiki
* DMARC - Wikipedia
You'll mostly see references to Yahoo if you search for this problem,
but it's the same problem here. Yahoo also sets a p=reject DMARC policy.
If the Discourse people want to participate here, they should change
their DMARC record.
