Whether the service is legitimate or not, it's defective. It's replying to
the "From:" header, which the list-server sends out intact. The "Sender:"
header identifies the list-server.

Most mailing-lists will drop subscribers who use such challenge/response
email filters. It's considered poor list etiquette, at the very least. It
doesn't speak too highly of the subscriber's forethought or understanding
of consequences, either.

You should send an email containing an example of the challenges to the
Java-Dev list-admin, assuming he hasn't seen and acted on the complaint
already.
