The user isn't the issue. Does this MX handle mail for the Mailman list? >but I don't know where/why Mailman should be doing some sort of >lookup and replace the "@subsidiary.org" with the full MX name. So, >we updated the Privacy>Sender Filters (and General>Moderators) had to >include this address and everything is working. Why do you think it's Mailman that's rewriting the From:?

If there is a FAQ or something to >tell me how this works, I'd love to read it. This has nothing at all to do with Mailman.
