Antonio,

"XXX" is a placeholder. If you gather messages to the MailMate list 
together, you'll see that the From field for some of them is the name of 
the sender, together with sender's personal address. Others have the 
name of the sender with "via mailmate" appended, together with the list 
address. Marc is trying to figure out why. He may have a task-related 
reason for that, or he may simply want to know in order to better 
understand MailMate and mail systems in general. Why does it matter to 
you?

I don't know the answer, but I wonder if it has something to do with 
people who send to the list via the web page versus their personal 
instance of MailMate.
