That already has been the setup.  The issue is that I have multiple
hosted email accounts dedicated for various purposes: mailing lists,
filling out online forms (junk), friends and family, ...

My original canonical file pointed to the junk address.  I changed that
one to the mailing list address and my LFS message made it through.  I
tried ssmtp on my laptop and could not get it to work with godaddy's
secureserver.net email hosting.

Unless I can solve this it will stay is it is now since I don't email
out on but one other account, and personal emails shouldn't be filtered
that often on the Return-Path header.
