The most common problem is if a list member is sending from a domain that  
exposes SPF/DMARC information.

Relaying such message through mlmmj (and any other mailing list) will retain the sender information - but with a new origin (the mlmmj server)

If the receiving part (protonmail) inspects the SPF/DMARC (supplied by the originating domain) it will propably drop the email or put it in quarantine.

Mlmmj still nedds a proper sender rewriting feature that will rewrite the sender information into something ala "Original sender name via mlmmj-liste-name <[email protected]>"

PS: I'm just guessing about the reasons for your described problem...
