List-* headers have their own RFC - RFC 2369
Other information on them can be found at
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.001.htp

MLMs generally do little else with headers, the ones I can think of
off-hand are:-

- strip and replace Precedence: with Precedence: list/bulk

- strip return-receipt headers (only done in a few cases)

- maybe check that the list is in the destination headers

- maybe tamper with Sender/Errors-To headers

Some lists also override the From:/To:/Cc: headers, but thi sis for
specialist sitations and not normally a good idea.

delivery normally requires overriding of the envelope sender address,
and passing a number of envelope recipient addresses in.

Anything else RFC-wise is likely to be covered in 2821 and 2822
