These are three different e-mail addresses PERIOD.
Though another mailing list manager has an alias
feature, it is still up to the list-owners to set
the appropriate config values for their lists to
recognize those equivalences.
Here is a std. blurb I plagarized ...
I don't believe that there is any RFC that says
that [log in to unmask] is identical to [log in to unmask]
It is only an accident/policy at some specfic
site that that is ever the case.

Form letter follows:
The xxxxxx-L list was restricted to receive mail only from subscribers to
the list. This was done mainly to prevent nuisance mail, and not to
restrict relevant articles such as yours. Your subscription to the list
is checked automatically by the list server, which verifies that the
address in the "From:" line in your mail matches that under which you
are subscribed.
Your mail (copy attached at end) was rejected by the list server for one
of the following reasons:
1. You are not subscribed to the list
SOLUTION: Subscribe to the list. If you truly do not wish to receive
mail from the list, but would like to post relevant articles, you can
achieve this by subscribing and then setting your options to "nomail".
Instructions for this are attached.
2. You subscribed to the list some time ago under an address that has
now changed even though e-mail sent to the old address continues to
reach you.
SOLUTION: Resubscribe under the new address. When the subscription has
been confirmed, unsubscribe the old address if you can (this requires
that you be able to send mail with the old address in the "From:" line).
If you cannot unsubscribe the old address yourself, send e-mail to
[log in to unmask] stating the specific address that you would
like removed, and the list administrator will do it manually.
3. You have several different accounts that you use for sending e-mail,
but have subscribed only one of them to the xxxxxx-L list.
SOLUTION: The preferred solution is to use only one account for sending
and receiving your list-related mail. If you really want to send e-mail
from multiple accounts, then you will need to subscribe them all to the
list, and set all but one of them to "nomail" so that you will receive
only one copy of mail messages. It is strongly recommended that you
subscribe only the minimal subset of addresses that you are really
likely to use. E.g.,
From your primary account (the one on which you receive mail), use:
subscribe xxxxxx-L Charles Doe
From all your other accounts, use:
subscribe xxxxxx-L Charles Doe
set xxxxxx-L nomail
(In the latter case, you will need to confirm your subscription first
before you can use the "set xxxxxx-L nomail" option in a separate message.)
4. You use several different workstations in your networked environment,
so the "From:" address generated in your mail is different, depending on
which machine you are logged on to.
SOLUTION: The best solution is to have your system administrator
configure your mailer so that it removes the machine-dependence in your
outgoing "From:" address. Since some adminstrators are unwilling or
unable to do this, alternatives are (a) to use the same machine to send
e-mail to the list as the one under which you subscribed, or (b) to
subscribe all the addresses that they may generate, and set all but one
to "nomail". E.g.:
From your primary account (the one on which you receive mail), use:
subscribe xxxxxx-L Charles Doe
From all your other accounts, use:
subscribe xxxxxx-L Charles Doe
set xxxxxx-L nomail
(In the latter case, you will need to confirm your subscription first
before you can use the "set xxxxxx-L nomail" option in a separate message.)
5. You are subscribed under a redistribution list local to your site
(which may be a local mailing list or a local newsgroup or bulletin
board), so your own address does not appear explicitly on the list.
SOLUTION: Subscribe yourself to the list separately. If you wish to
use the local redistribution or gateway to read the list mail, then set
your individual subscription to "nomail".
Information for subscribing to the xxxxxx-L list and setting the "nomail"
option is attached, as is your original article. Please contact me if
you have any questions.

================================================================
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBSCRIBING OR UNSUBSCRIBING TO xxxxxx-L
All subscription and unsubscription requests for the xxxxxx-L list are
handled by an automatic list server. Please send one of the following
messages in the BODY of an e-mail message to [log in to unmask]
(You can put anything you like in the Subject: line, since it is
ignored.)
TO SUBSCRIBE:
subscribe xxxxxx-L Your Full Name
[Replace "Your Full Name" with your actual first and last names, e.g.,]
[ subscribe xxxxxx-L Sandra Lewis ]
TO UNSUBSCRIBE:
signoff xxxxxx-L
or
unsubscribe xxxxxx-L
TO RECEIVE DIGESTED MAIL (ALL MESSAGES FOR THE DAY CONSOLIDATED INTO 1 E-MAIL):
set xxxxxx-L digest
TO SUSPEND MAIL TEMPORARILY (E.G., WHEN YOU'RE ON VACATION)
set xxxxxx-L nomail
TO RESUME TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED MAIL (OR CHANGED FROM DIGEST TO NON-DIGEST):
set xxxxxx-L mail
NOTES:
1. The e-mail must be sent to [log in to unmask], and NOT to
[log in to unmask], nor even to [log in to unmask]
2. Your e-mail address does not appear in any of these commands, because
it is automatically extracted from your mail headers. If you use
different machines on which you have different e-mail addresses,
make sure that you send the mail from the machine on which you
want to receive your list-related mail.
3. If you need to reach the "human" list administrator for any matters
that cannot be handled by the automatic server (such as questions),
send e-mail to [log in to unmask]
