[Buildroot] Mailing list quirks?

Why do received emails on the list say to:buildroot at buildroot.org, when the
list address is buildroot at busybox.net? (According to mailman:
http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/buildroot)

Being an infrequent poster, I just looked for the listy-looking email
address in a recent thread, and it listed buildroot at buildroot.org, so I
used that. I'm not sure if buildroot at buildroot.org goes to the list or not,
but I notice a few things about the replies I got from that address:

1. They were tagged with "[Buildroot]" in the reply subject, which implies
that the were processed by the list manager or something similar.

2. Unlike other messages from the list, they didn't have the abundant
List-Id, etc. meta-tags that are used by email filters nowadays, so in that
sense they don't look like they were processed by the list manager.

Confused (and probably doing it wrong),
