Nope. Sender= only configures the RFC822 Sender: field. It does nothing
to the From: field. Note that with "Reply-To= List" you are also implying
"Reply-To= List,Respect". If you don't want LISTSERV to respect the existing
Reply-To: header on an incoming posting, the you must explicitly set
"Reply-To= List,Ignore".

Sure, it uses the From: field, but you haven't changed the From: field.
The only way to change the From: field is to change it in your mail client
when you post to the list. There is no way to force LISTSERV to rewrite
it for you.
