In Mailman 2.1.14 and newer, there is an include_sender_header setting
on each list's General Options page. If that is Yes, Mailman will remove
all Sender: headers from the incoming mail and add its own. If it is No,
Mailman doesn't remove or add Sender: headers. Pre 2.1.14 Mailman always
did removal and addition.

There is also an Errors-To: header and there should always be just
Mailman's.

If Mailman is adding a Sender: header without first removing any
existing ones, I would like to see all the headers from such a message
as sent by Mailman.

Bugs in MM 2.1 should be reported at
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+filebug>, but first, just send me
or post here the full message headers from the message as sent by Mailman.
