You are correct in blaming a mailserver misconfiguration, but it's
yours, not the list's.

Since forever mailing lists send out emails with the poster's email
address in From:. Note you can only have 1 address in From:, unlike CC:
or BCC:. What else are they supposed to put in there? You post, so it's
from you. The mailing list server just sends it on, always adding some
headers to show what's been happening (although ever fewer especially
with high-volume marketroidal-crap servers). It may change Reply-to:,
but that's another seering-hot can of fish.

I'm afraid you need to fix your own system...

Not possible, sorry. Single address in From:, and it's always been
yours.
