If the issue would truly be resolved or at least mitigated by having
the Sender: be list-ad...@list.example.com instead of
list-boun...@list.example.com, that's a really easy change that
wouldn't have any unintended side effects.

One thing I would want to make sure of is that we don't make a forced unilateral change. Give people the option of changing which header is used and how, but default to whatever the current behaviour is. Maybe even hide it behind a site-wide setting that is turned off by default.

I filter all my mail by several different criteria, one of which is the value of the Sender: header. It would be a royal pain to be forced to go in and change all my filters, just because the value of the Sender: header changed with an upgrade.

As one of the guys who is primarily responsible for the mailing lists used by thousands and thousands of people world-wide here on python.org, I would be strongly opposed to doing any kind of upgrade that would force that kind of behavior. And it would be a real shame if we couldn't eat our own dogfood with regards to Mailman.
