Why  does it  seem  incorrect? :-)  What  seems incorrect  to  me is  the
gateway's behaviour. I can only see two possibilities:
 
1. The gateway inserts the "Sender:" field because it wants this field to
   be used by programs for some reason or other. Indeed LISTSERV uses the
   field as  the gateway expected. The  real question is why  the gateway
   does that, given that you say this address doesn't work.
 
2. The  gateway inserts the  "Sender:" field for aesthetical  reasons, in
   the hope that it will not be  used by any program. Well, that does not
   seem very smart to me.
