I'm pretty sure the last time I tried git-send-email I had the MTA path exactly the same. My mutt sends to `localhost`, which forwards over an SSL channel to my colo'd spearce.org mail server, and that relays to the final destination. Hence spearce.org mail always originates from spearce.org.

Now I ran git-send-email on a different system, but had it connect over SMTP to port 25 of the same system mutt runs on, so the initial Received line was different, but othewrise the mail path was the same.

I also have a few other addresses that I can send to that will go out the spearce.org colo'd box to another SMTP system, then bounce back, and the round-trip was the same for anything from mutt and from git-send-email.

I marked the whole mess up to some mail header difference that git-send-email wasn't sending the same way mutt was, and that vger cared about. I didn't see the difference easily. I just gave up. ;-)
