Sounds like ezmlm (although I suppose there might be others which work
the same way). :-)
Anyway, I don't know but I'm guessing this is because the mailing list
software is looking at the *envelope sender* address (if it's ezmlm,
then I know this to be the case). So anything you put in the headers
won't have any effect.
Mutt doesn't offer a method to directly configure the envelope sender
address (it's decided by the MTA usually when the email is sent), but
you can modify the $sendmail variable to include the envelope sender
on the sendmail command line, with the -f option (eg. "-fyour@address").
I'm reasonably sure this will help you, but if it doesn't, then you need
to first find out how the list server determines the sender address, and
after you know that you can then look into seeing how to change that.

Mikko
