If I send from GoogleMail, regardless of the sender's address chosen

Could this be due to the fact that GoogleMail is somehow present in the
mail's header as the originating mailer?
By default, Mailman examines the From: header, the envelope sender of
the message, the Reply-To: header if any and the Sender: header if any
of the incoming message to determine if any of these contains the
address of a list member. If so, the post is considered to be from the
first member address found for purposed of moderation.
Test by sending messages from googlemail either to yourself at a
non-googlemail address or to the list with Bcc: to yourself at a
non-googlemail address (I say use a non-googlemail address because
googlemail has a habit of discarding messages that have the same
Message-Id: as ones in your Sent folder), and examine the headers of
the message. The envelope sender is supposed to be reflected in a
Return-Path: header in the received message, but not all MDAs are
compliant.
You can change what things mailman looks at for list mambership. See
the setting SENDER_HEADERS in Defaults,py and override it in mm_cfg.py
if you wish.
