No, this doesn't make sense.  How are the users subscribing to the list?
Via e-mail or web?  It sounds to me like the user's MUA is misconfigured
- either your e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] or it's
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  You can't have it both ways - mailman should
correctly treat those as separate people since there is absolutely no
way for it to know the difference.  

If you're subscribed with some.name, then post from some.name.  If you
want to allow posting from other e-mail addresses, then configure
mailman so that non-list members are allowed to post.  If you restrict
posting to list members, then the client must be configured to post from
some.name.
