I will contact you backchannel with more details, but if it is a mail
routing problem, it is being very selective, since it doesn't do this
with messages from the listowner, and is happening only after it reaches
the listserv.  I have already inspected messages sent from subscribers,
and found nothing wrong with their headers.

Quite simply, if I subscribe one of my non-owner addresses to the list,
and send a message from that address, the problem appears if I address
the message to the alias specified in LIST-ID parm.  The problem does not
appear if I send the message to the actual (full) list name.  It really
is that straightforward.
