Hi Andrew,

As far as I know, you have to have the static 'sender' tag.
You cannot have dynamic 'sender' tag

But you can change the 'owner-mylist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
to 'Andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' if you want.

Then (for RAQ2)
find out config line something like 
mylist_siteXX:   "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l mylist_siteXX
mylist_site3-list" 

in /etc/aliases.majordomo

add following extra tag on the same line with out line break;
-f Andrew

If you want change sender host from  mylistmailhost.mydomain.com to
newhost.newdomain.com
then add
-h newhost.newdomain.com

Finally rebuild the aliases by executing the command,
newaliases
