Right, my point is that readers of the Mailman FAQ are are there
because they're thinking "Mailman 'should' be able to do something
about this", but as I understand it (I haven't actually had to deal
with, so I haven't seen it "in the wild") you've saying the rewriting
could be happening *anywhere*, so there's not much that Mailman can
do.

So site admins need to make sure via the DNS, not Mailman, that what
goes out is what is going to come back.  Right?
