This is actually a problem with the CentOS list server.  The CentOS list
properly changes the envelope sender but leaves in the DKIM signature.
Also the body of the email is changed thus invalidating the sig.  What
should be happening here is the CentOS server should be stripping the
DKIM headers and re-signing the message with it's own DKIM key in order
to be accepted more widely.

It also doesn't help that centos.org does *not* have an SPF record.

So let's stop ragging on James, he's done what he should be doing and
it's the CentOS server that has mucked things up here.
