RFC 2822 is clear on what does not belong in the From field. From
Section 3.2.6:

  In all cases, the "From:" field SHOULD NOT contain any mailbox
  that does not belong to the author(s) of the message.

Furthermore, it has this to say about what goes in the Reply-To field:

  When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it indicates that the
  mailbox(es) to which THE AUTHOR [emphasis mine --RP] of the
  message suggests that replies be sent.

So no, it is not fine. Unless you want to assert that [email protected] is
my mailbox or that the Mailman program at blu.org is the author of this
message then said program should not be writing or rewriting my From and
Reply-To fields.

Or you can ignore RFC 2822.
