Probably because Jules' mailer is inserting an unecessary "Reply-to:"
header (pointless, since it's supposed to be used only when you want
replies to go to somewhere other than the "From:"), and then mailman is
applying the principle of "least modification" and *appending* the
classiccmp address, rather than replacing the one Jules' mailer put in.

I've noticed this with posts from one or two other listmembers.
