Sorry, I mistyped: I meant to write that CONSULT messages didn't have 
To: headers; I checked my CONFIRM's, and they do.

As to what the From: line should say, I'm inclined to say that all 
automated messages from the server should come From: majordomo, but 
I'm probably missing some crucial point.  (That assumes you can glean 
enough information from the token to specify an intelligent default 
list for the command, even if it's not returned to 
list-request@domain, which I assume is the case.)
