I don't think so.  I only tag the envelope address with my keyword address.
The from gets bare and reply-to gets dated.  The mailing list replaces
the envelope address.  Here's what tmda-users puts there:

        Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That came from an email that I sent to tmda-users with a keyword address.
Other lists that I'm subscribed to do the exact same thing.  I have not
yet seen any archive that archives the original sender header.

But, of course, I could be wrong in this assessment.  I've just not seen it.
The good news is if I start seeing spam to harvested keyword addresses,
it's easy enough to resolve.  I already have the following in my incoming
filter:

        to-file ~/.tmda/lists/blacklist.to-oldkeyword bounce

Simple enough to add a harvested keyword.  That being said, I'm subscribed
to several lists with keywords, and have been for a couple of years.
Not one of my keyword addresses has been harvested - ever.

Cheers,
