Well, depending on how the user crafts the post, many things are
possible, but with from_is_list = Munge from[1] and the usual situation,
the post is

From: Joe Sender <sender at example.net>
To: A list <list at example.com>

and after munging the delivered post is

From: Joe Sender on behalf of a A list <list at example.com>
Reply-To: Joe Sender <sender at example.net>
To: A list <list at example.com>

Reply-To: is the sender's address <sender at example.net> and To: is the
list address <list at example.com>. These are not the same.

[1] It is recommended to set from_is_list to No and
dmarc_moderation_action to Munge from. The resultant munging will be the
same but will only be applied to messages From: a domain publishing a
DMARC policy of reject (or quarantine if
dmarc_quarantine_moderation_action is Yes).
