Note that as far as I know that product is still closed source, and we
don't have access to the source code for it.  You should communicate
with your hosting service or cPanel directly.

I'm surprised that works for your users.  When I introduced it, I
thought it would be the best way to handle it, and MUAs would quickly
learn to at least preview those when from a list, but in practice none
did.  Worse, Apple Mail for iOS provided no way to get at it at all.

Have you had complaints about needing to manually view the attachment?

The quickest way to get some protection is to figure out what the IP
address(es) of your outgoing SMTP gateway(s) is (are), and add an SPF
record specifying them as allowed to send mail for your site.  Most
recipient sites will accept mail if the IP is allowed and the From
address is aligned per DMARC.

Mailman won't do DKIM.  This is really the MTA's responsibility.
Among other things, Mailman can't set up the DNS and acquire the
certificates.  Installing something like OpenDKIM and so protecting
all of your mail is less than half of the effort required to install
DKIM, and none of the maintenance (certificate renewal or rotation,
etc).  And Mailman can't do SPF at all -- that's purely a DNS
function, and the Mailman host may not even be a relevant sender.
