If an end-user with an AOL or Yahoo account wants to write to the administrators of the list "address@concealed" they write to "address@concealed" - the mail is then delivered to the listed owners of the list. If those owners have accounts at sites that use DMARC, the policy is applied to the From: address - which is @aol.com or @yahoo.com but is NOT delivered from a valid server for those domains, and the mail to the list-owners is rejected. This keeps users from being able to contact owners off-list unless they make their direct email addresses known to the subscribers, which most of our list-owner prefer not to do.

-owner is the return-path address. It is the opne used to get errors. I don't see how this could be used for sending fishings.

Not to Sympa, at least: I understand you could use this address to fake an error and include a link to be clicked by a human reader, but Sympa will simply try to evaluate this message to increment an error rate for a user.
So, on my opinion, from the strict Sympa point of view, you should not re-address the return path.

Cheers,

David
