Should we just make assumptions about your versions
of majordomo, OS, and MTA?  I run redhat, sendmail,
and majordomo, and I don't have that problem.  OK,
enough teasing.

The From: line should never ever be your list's name.
Your list does not generate messages, humans do.
Mail should always be From: the human sender.
Majordomo just relays mail from one person to many.
