Postfix can override the envelope sender address with an owner-listname
alias. However, Postfix currently requires external software to
replace the original From: header with three headers (X-Original-From:
with the original sender, From: with the list address, and Reply-To:
with the list or the original sender).

The header munging could be done with a content filter (such as a
Milter, which could also do the alias expansion), but why cobble
together a solution when a list manager already provides a proven
implementation.
