Nope, but checking our sendmail logs revealed a warning about, 

Authentication-Warning: spica.dandy.net: operator set sender to
Majordomo-Owner@lists.dandy.net using -f

I think I have to either set lists.dandy.net up as a full hostname in the
DNS (its only set up as a CNAME for now) or set up limited_masq in
sendmail.. Debating which is the path of least resistence :>
