Some mailing lists (in particular installations of mailman) rewrite the
"From" header in order to avoid bounces of messages submitted to the
list from a domain with a strict DMARC policy.  Some lists _only_ do it
for such senders, but other lists do it for all senders.  I'm too
lazy/tired right now to look up your domain's policy, so I don't know
which case it falls into, but I'm quite sure this is the general phenom
you are seeing.
