In this case, the originator of the message is MajorDomo. Consider this
passage from 822:
This field [Sender] contains the authenticated identity of the AGENT
(person, system or process) that sends the message. It is
intended for use when the sender is not the author of the mes-
sage
You may be the author of the message, but you didn't originate the message.
You did not send the message to me; you sent it to
majordomo-users@greatcircle.com. The MajorDomo program at greatcircle.com
sent the message to me.
There's no violation of RFC 822.
