	Indeed.  I suspect that the company may have implemented SPF (see 
<http://bradknowles.typepad.com/>).

	In this case, one easy solution would be for the company to 
designate the mailing list server as one of the systems that is 
officially allowed to generate e-mail that claims to be from the 
company.
