No, mailman sends via sendmail. I use the following in sendmail.mc


dnl #
dnl # Make all outgoing mail appear to originate from the
dnl # domain of the mail server. Do not masquerade from
dnl # other valid domains that are in $w as we may wish these
dnl # to be exposed if set in the mail headers.
dnl #
MASQUERADE_AS(`my.domain.com')dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`mail.my.domain.com')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl
FEATURE(`limited_masquerade')dnl

If you only send/receive from a single domain, you won't need the
"limited_masquerade".
