actually, now that I think about it, it's the "reply-to" that needs to come from the "list", not the from, or else people will not know who sent the msg.
I'm not sure how practical (or perhaps even possible) it is to accomplish that with Postfix - it has various rewrite lookup tables but they're all pretty static direct mappings, so the challenge is to have them only take effect for this single destination address but for any senders sending to it.
I won't say absolutely it can't be done, but I suspect that figuring out an appropriate configuration, even if possible, might actually be more work than just installing mailman (for example) even if it's just to create the single distribution list, and you never set up the web interface for example.
I suppose one intermediate approach would be to have the main list name actually perform local delivery to a special account with a procmail or equivalent filter that would add the Reply-To and then re-queue the mail to an internal distribution name. The latter step might just be done through a .forward for that local delivery user.
But again, installing something like mailman isn't overly complex, and then you get a ton of other stuff for free beyond just forwarding the messages.
