As I currently run an email server for several domains (including a
mailman list server) and have done so for years, I'm passingly
familiar with the systems involved. |:

I am subscribed to the xastir list with both addresses.  I put the
eng.uah.edu in silent mode (I forget mailman's term for it) and
receive the email at gmail; this way I can send a message to the list
from either address, as both are subscribed to the list, but I only
receive one copy of the list messages.

Completely beyond the mailman list server behavior, though, is the
fact that this is occuring at the SMTP level before the message ever
even gets to mailman.  It's an SMTP issue, not a mailman issue or
EEBKAC.
