Yes, that's exactly what it's about, right.

Between the envelope-from (Sender-Header) and the From: header.

Of course it can, because the Sender-Header must not be the -bounces address like I said, it can be the usual mailing-list address instead. The »Return-Path« header is the only one that must be set to the -bounces address, to not loose the bounce-handling of mailman.
Thanks for your input, though. I guess I'll have to dig myself. Alfie
If you want to try making your suggested change then (for MM 2.1.2) look to line 342 of Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py in function bulkdeliver() and change:
msg['Sender'] = envsender
to read:
msg['Sender'] = mlist.GetListEmail()
Do not forget that indentation is syntactically significant in Python!
This change should lead to the SMTP envelope having the bounce alias on it while the Sender is just the list alias. Do not blame me if inappropriate stuff starts getting posted to the list because of the change and do let us know how you get on with the change.
