Because that's where bounces go, and you want automatic unsubscription
to work, don't you?
And, as a subscriber, I don't want all the bounce messages coming to me!
As Ralf says, let mailman see the bounces and deal with them.
No, that's wrong. The question was about the "From:" address. Bounces go to the "Sender:" address.
Almost but not quite. Bounces go to the SMTP envelope sender NOT, as Ian says, the address in the message From: header. MM normally puts the same value as the envelope sender into the message Sender: header but an MTA generating a bounce should only work off the envelope value and never off the message headers. In general you can have a different value in the Sender: header to the envelope From, which can ameliorate the behaviour of some versions of Outlook which upsets some users getting mail from lists; see:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq02.003.htp
The from address has to be the person who composed the message. The sender address is the agent that sent it to the recipient.
There is an option in the "General Options" page of the web management utility which hides the original sender of the message. "Hide the sender of a message, replacing it with the list address (Removes From, Sender and Reply-To fields)". It fixes a setting called "anonymous_list".
