Ben already answered the question you asked, but I have another
one:  What problem were you trying to solve by making it look like
it came from the list?  Most likely, there's a better solution:

1) A misguided attempt to have replies go back to the list, no matter
what.  Putting 'Reply-To: List,ignore' in the list header is probably
what you wanted for this.

2) Trying to conceal the posting-from address so it stays private.
The solution here is to create a dummy mailbox to post from, and
configure your e-mail program to post "from" that address.

If it's something else, feel free to explain what the issue is
and we'll see what we can cook up...
