According to my copy of the b6 sources, the messages should be sent
out with an envelope sender of
<LISTNAME-admin at HOST>
where you can find LISTNAME and HOST in a way similar to this:
$ cd ~mailman
$ python

>>> from Mailman import MailList
>>> list = MailList.MailList("LISTNAME") # This locks the list
>>> list._internal_name
'LISTNAME'
>>> list.host_name
'HOST'
>>> list.Unlock() # Finished, remember to unlock
Are you sure your problem isn't that your MTA is doing some address
rewriting _after_ Mailman has passed the messages on to it?
