Except if a user is subscribed to more than one list in a domain. she
gets one reminder covering all lists. Thus, it is not appropriate to
send it from list1 when it contains reminders for list1, list2, ...

That's why it comes from the site list.

These things are set in cron/mailpasswds. You could modify that code,
but it's not straightforward.

Perhaps a better way to accomplish what you want is to make a site
specific edited version of templates/<lang>/cronpass.txt per
<http://wiki.list.org/x/jYA9>, and just eliminate the reference to
"(for example, %(exreq)s)" and replace "%(owner)s" with a reference to
"the -owner address of the list".

Note that this must be a 'site' template and not a 'list' or 'domain'
template because it is a 'site' message.
