Majordomo does not alter From, To, or Cc headers, so what you should be
seing in From is the originator's mailbox.

But, there are some broken MUAs (mail user agents) out there that do bad
things with Sender headers, which Majordomo does create.  Microsoft Mail is
notorious for this; there are probably a few others.  The only fix is to
toss the MUA or complain to the vendor.  In the case of Microsoft Mail,
Microsoft has no intentions of fixing any of the existing problems with
MS-Mail; they expect you to chuck your MS-Mail and purchase Exchange (which
really is a superior product).
