This has been the normal behavior of LISTSERV since about 1986 and is based on
RFC822.  In this case, the LISTSERV list 'LSTSRV-L' is an intermediate sending
agent and that's what the sender field is used for.  The List Owner universal
address is  [log in to unmask]  The errors-to address is the Return-Path:
which is set to [log in to unmask]
