People that use C/R anti-spam systems should not be allowed to use
your mailing list. It is a violation of standards to change the
sender address just because a message is distributed by a list. If
the user wants everyone to go click something to be able to send
them mail, they are only expecting to ever recieve mail from human
senders. As a member of a list, they have no way of knowing who
all the humans are that post to the list. Do everyone a favor and
delete this person from your list membership file.
