I'm receiving the email as "Xcode Users", as per the headers of the message.

Not sure what you mean. If you look at the source of the message, you'll see that it was sent to 'XCode Users', not to 'Xcode Users'.


However, if I compose an email, it auto completes as "XCode Users' List".

Because you had that entry in Mail's Previous Recipients list as a result of having previously replied to a message from someone that used that name, not because of any list misconfiguration.

If you haven't set up an Address Book card for the xcode- email@hidden address yourself, Mail will glom on to some name for it on some piece of incoming mail. I expect it's deterministic but I don't know what the algorithm is.

AFAIK, Mail doesn't look at previously received messages for completing email addresses at all. It does however look at the Previous Recipients list, which would contain the name used by anyone to which you have replied without editing To and/or Cc, i.e. Mail is reusing that name because you've actually already sent a message using that name, not simply because you've received a message that used it.

is there any way to configure Mail to only use the addresses from my address book for auto complete when I'm addressing e-mails?

In Mail open Window > Previous Recipients and remove any entries you don't want to be there. Note, however, that this has no effect on replies, i.e. unless you edit the address before sending the reply, Mail will use the name used by whoever you reply to, regardless of what information you have stored in Address Book or in Previous Recipients... and will add the corresponding entry to Previous Recipients again if you end up sending the message without editing the address first... :-)
