Sendmail.

Looks like Listserv? Anyway, from the FAQ: "The likely reason is that
the messages you are sending contains a Sender mail header and that it
does not match your From mail header. LISTSERV gives higher priority to
the Sender header and will use the address listed there to send back its
replied."

So I need to fix the Sender: issue. Off to the sendmail docs then... :-)
