This is usually not a problem of the mailing list, it's a problem with
fucked-up mailers on the receiving side which wouldn't know what the
difference between an envelope and a header address is if their life
depended on them.
If you see a bounce from a mail to any EGCS list, do as I do and complain
LOUDLY to the postmaster at whatever site you got a bounce from.

Hmmm. Qmail copies these from the envelope address. _Very_ strange.
