It means that a receiving system, which otherwise complies with DMARC 
policy records, has chosen to deviate from a domain owner's request to 
reject messages that fail DMARC, by virtue of knowing that it went 
through a mailing list that was trusted.

In other words, it means that the receiving mail system whitelisted a 
mailing list.
