Which version, what MTA? I will assume 1.90 and sendmail.

Set the sendmail alias owner-listname to be the list owner. Set the
sender configuration file entry to be owner-listname. This is about
all you can do. There are some braindead mailers out there that insist
on mailing bounces to the From: address regardless of what you do.

It should. The same person can subscribe under multiple addresses, but
if the same address is used, the following message should be returned
in response to a subscribe request:

	<address> is already subscribed to <listname>
