Netbsd-Users-List is the lists "display name" in the mail header.
netbsd-users%netbsd.org@localhost is the lists email address.

Like "Todd Gruhn" is your "display name" in the mail header,
and tgruhn2%gmail.com@localhost is your email address.

See RFC 5322 Section 3.4 (page 16/17) for the specification:

|  Normally, a mailbox is composed of two parts: (1) an optional display
|  name that indicates the name of the recipient (which can be a person
|  or a system) that could be displayed to the user of a mail
|  application, and (2) an addr-spec address enclosed in angle brackets
|  ("<" and ">").
