The "From" header value in your message and the value of the "mail from"
command in the SMTP dialog (when two mail servers talk to each other)
are two completely different things.
You can think of the latter as the sender address you write on the
outside of an (snail mail) envelope, while the former is like an address
in the letterhead on the sheet of paper you put inside this envelope.
>From the postal service's perspective the sender address is the address
on the envelope - no matter what's printed on the sheet inside (no
envelopes with windows in this example).

Similarly: whether or not the list server accepts your mail depends on
the address given during the "mail from" stage of the SMTP dialog (the
"envelope address"). What address you put into the "From" header
*inside* your mail is (probably) irrelevant wrt acceptance/refusal of
the list server.
