The FROM: field that appears on recipients' received list
distributions is not strictly based on the originator's
FROM: field.
 
I just did a test on a local listserv and discovered that
my unadorned FROM: field (NOT as above) was rewritten
with my local LISTSERV-registered name field.  That
local name was created some time ago when I has issued
a LISTSERV
 
REGISTER firstname lastname ...
 
Though I have NOT verified it, if I had done a more recent SUBSCRIBE
via that LISTSERV with another name description, that might have
been the name LISTSERV filled-in on my test distribution.
 
Finally, what name that a recipient sees is a function of what
is sent in various fields and how the receiver's mail agent software
is programmed/configured.
 
All bets are off.
