This is how a Mailman list normally works, at least in part. As long as
the list is not "anonymous", the From: header in the post delivered to
the list will be that of the original post.

However, the Sender: header (and the envelope sender) would be set to
'community-bounces at mycompany.com' so automated bounce processing
works. Some MUAs, notably Microsoft Outlook, will display this
information to the user. See <http://wiki.list.org/x/RoA9>.
