Isn't the 'sending' host name specified on the resend command line?  I have
two machines that MX for cse.psu.edu and both process mail for majodomo lists.
My aliases look like:

list:	"| /home/staff/majordomo/wrapper resend -l list cse.psu.edu list-out"

And the headers get adjusted so the the return address is list@cse.psu.edu.
