Except in this case (and countless other mailing lists) it wasn't a 
simple as that. Things *were* broken, and needed to be fixed.

The way email works was flawed: it left open a gaping wide hole that 
spammers and fraudsters could easily exploit. Steps are being taken to 
deal with that, such as DMARC.

That in turn meant this list and all those others had to be changed, 
unless they wanted to be broken by DMARC.

If this causes problems for you, it's because you are using a system for 
email that has functional limitations.

Historically, webmail was designed simply as a web-based means to access 
a normal mailbox using IMAP - but being web-based it's exactly like just 
about every other web-based alternative to a proper desktop application: 
greatly limited by comparison, both in speed and in features.

If you wish to continue using webmail, that's entirely up to you - but 
when it doesn't work or doesn't do what you expect, remember that it's 
*your choice* to use something that just isn't up to the job.
