You see that format in the Return-Path: header and maybe also in the
Sender: and Errors-To: headers because the envelope sender is VERP'd.
If your MTA is doing the VERP, its only in the Return-Path:. If
Mailman is doing the VERP because VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES is Yes
and/or VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1, then it's in the other headers too.

I was going to suggest you try VERP before I saw this post, however, I
don't know the answer to your question. I think you'll have to wait
and see.

Also, Message-ID was mentioned earlier in this thread. Unless you make
changes to Mailman, you can't identify the recipient from the
Message-ID because the post is sent to all recipients with the
Message-ID of the original incoming message.
