To which most experts say, "Tough.  Use a different provider for mailing
lists".

Considering how badly this plays with mailing lists and how poorly it
has been received, I'm not so certain that other big mailbox providers
are going to be quick to do the same.

Hiding the originating From: seems like a "cure" that's worse than the
original problem.  There can't be *that* many yahoo & AOL users on this
list; send them a direct message, explaining the problem, and tell them
they're being dropped from the list, but that they're encouraged to
rejoin the list using an email address from a domain that doesn't use
p=reject for DMARC.
