Yes please, as we have seen this at one particular site as well.  I'll 
try to dig up one of our experiences, but it sounds the same - the mail 
arriving at the other end is addressed 
"sending-list-name@valid-addressee's.domain.name".  
It's like the sender local part gets combined with the destination domain.

Hope somebody knows...

Glenn.
