	Therein lies the problem.  RFC 822 (and 2822) require that all 
CNAME aliases be resolved to their canonical name, before being put 
in mail headers.  This problem cannot be solved by mailman, or your 
MTA.  You need to fix your DNS.  Make dev.mitgcm.org directly resolve 
to the same IP address as forge.lcs.mit.edu, and that should do it.
