Some MTA convert the SMTP envelope into X-something message
headers. The envelope looks like

MAIL FROM: address
RCPT TO: address

No, I never heared of a MTA changing the from or sender headers or
such. It may do checks on the headers though (I belive exim can do this).

You asked the moderator of this list, if he has some entry in his logs 
about the mailinglist dropping your postings and the reason for this?
