Are these domains served by the same Mailman installation?

The added information is probably added by the recipient's mail client,
not by Mailman. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq02.003.htp>
although your symptom seems somewhat different.


It appears that both lists are anonymous. "Shop Talk" in the From: of
the shoptalk at identitypullman.com list comes from the description
setting on the list's General Options page. If this is set on the
other list, and it is the same Mailman, I don't know why the From:
would be different.
