Sendmail adds "Apparently-To:" lines when there's no "To:" line in the mail
header.  To get rid of it, add a "To:" line :-)

Since you have sendmail, it would probably be a good idea to add a alias in
your /usr/lib/aliases file.  Something like this:

mailing-list-out:	list,of,people...

And, then address your outbound email to "mailing-list-out"
