[Mailman-Users] Virtual Domains

[Rabinowitz, Ari (Exchange)]

It depends on how the virtual host name is defined.  If it is a CNAME
pointing to the actual host name then sendmail, and many other MTAs, will
change the name to the actual host name in the envelope (and sometimes in
the header) From address.  If it is defined with an A record pointing to the
same IP address as the other host name (or a virtual IP address of its own)
then sendmail shouldn't be changing the From address.

It appears to be a Sendmail question.  I have the same problem, as well 
as many other people on this list.  If someone has a simple answer, it 
should go in the FAQ.  I did a lot of looking yesterday, but never found 
an answer.  Surely _someone_ has figured this out...
