Thanks, the possible solutions found so far:
1) upgrade mailman to 2.1.16 which has an option to replace From header with the address of the mailing list. The really big inconvenient is that all emails will be handled like this, losing the sender information, no matter is from yahoo/hotmail or not. Another inconvenient is that it might require manual installation, since 2.1.16 is not packaged on old debian stable, adding overhead in maintenance ... unless some good sysadmin around here provides some backports
2) ask those people with yahoo/hotmail/... to use different email provider
Combined, yahoo+hotmail account for a bit more than 200 addresses on sr-users.
What people here prefer? Any other solution?
Cheers, Daniel

Please don't. Mailing list mangling the reply-to header are already worse enough, mangling the From makes it unbearable.

But with about 8 posts in the last 4 years, half of them spam.

Just automatically remove addresses that bounce a few times, it is commonly done on many mailinglists. Recipients are themselves reponsible for a properly operating mailserver.

On sr-users, from where I got the figures of subscribers, there are many with yahoo/hotmail, some even these days (e.g., Arun)...
Hopefully there will be a solution soon not to be very drastic in cutting these public/free mail services.
Cheers, Daniel
