It doesn't, so it doesn't.

ezmlm uses VERP, so the return path shows the use what address he
is subscribed as. A trivial script will tell each subscriber that
he's on list X as address Y.
if the mail gateway changes the envelope sender, all the user has to
do is register the new address to send mail to the list.
If the user want to subscribe the new address and unsubscribe the
old one, that's ok too.
