I distribute mailing lists the same way you do, Stuart, and I've
grumbled at the same problems.  I looked into fixing them inside
sendmail and it didn't look easy, nor was it perfecly obvious that
the result would be "Correct".

I've seen some other people's cute tricks involving piping the
outgoing list mail to "sendmail -f list-owner ...".  Messy, but
it does do the job.
