Probably the more interesting behavior is that for messages to a
moderated list.  When a message to a moderated list arrives, LISTSERV
sends it to one of the moderators.  That moderator may edit the
message, if desired, and forward it back to the list with a Resent-From
containing the moderator's address.  The message will be distributed to
the list with the original From field intact, so that replies go to the
original sender, rather than the moderator.
