Correct. It SHOULD not change, but it MAY. It is not desirable, but it
is permissible.

The only solution that doesn't involve hacking code is to not change
the host_name of the list, but since the host_name is the domain that
is exposed in all list email addresses, that is clearly not a
practical solution.

Otherwise, you'd need to modify Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py in some
way.
