Subscription notification sent from the site admins work-mail.
One of my list administrators told me that all seven list administrators on a list received a "None <foo@example.com> has been successfully subscribed to [LIST NAME].", when someone subscribed to their list, however the sender of the mail (From:) was my own work mail address. I am not associated with the list other that I am site admin.
The log /opt/mailman/web/logs/smtp.log seems to confirm that Mailman have sendt the mail on behalf of me.

How can I, the site admin, be the sender og the mail?
Note: Mailman 3 have been running with users half a year, but last week the particular list was imported from Mailman 2 using import21.
User now elaborate the issue, by saying that the issue occurs when subscribing using Mass operations --> Mass subscription.

This is expected behavior. In Mailman 2.1 notices like this were sent From: the site list (normally 'mailman'). In Mailman 3, there is no site list so the notices are from the site admin.
If you'd rather not expose your work mail address in this way, set the site admin to something generic like mailman-admin@example.com and alias that to where you want the mail to go.
