Well, this is just a guess, but your Eudora setup is probably to send mail
through some remote SMTP server @home.com, whereas your mutt setup has to
use a local sendmail which is causing your envelope from header to be
something relative to that local host.  Ezmlm (qmail's mailing list
package) uses the envelope headers to determine if you're subscribed or
not.  If this is what's going on, and you're using a recent Mutt, check out
the $envelope_from mutt variable.
