It does.  However the MIT Mailhubs are running a variant of Sendmail
5.61 (with security patches and a lot of local hacks), which doesn't
automatically set the envelope to be from owner-listname.  When the
MIT postmasters have the time, they plan to upgrade to Sendmail 8
which will solve this problem.

Until they update to sendmail 8, this will still be a problem.
