Alas, the days of this continuing to work are numbered.  Already a large
number of sites use DKIM and similar techniques to ensure that only
authenticated servers send mail from their domains.  Thus when your
mailing list "reflects" a mail from foo at example.com, the subscriber at
bar at example.com will never see it because mx.example.com rejects it as a
forgery.

Mailman has begun to support options that absolutely rewrite the From:
header entirely.  This is not a very fun future for e-mail.
