No.  RFC822 (and RFC2822) requires that the From: address reflect who is the
author of the message.  The "List-address" (listname@server) cannot logically
be the author of any message.  Only an individual can be an author.  LISTSERV
(correctly) uses the List Address in the Sender: field to show it is
redistributing the message on behalf of the author.
