Ok, so then there is no way for Mailman to know the envelope sender, right? Mailman can only look at the mail that is piped into it from the MTA (sendmail in my case), so if the information isn't available on the headers, Mailman can't be aware of it.
It depends on how your MTA provides that information to the Local Delivery Agent. That information may or may not be made available in a header that is created by the local MTA, in which case Mailman could look at that. But without support from your local MTA, there is no other way that Mailman could know that information.
Are we really talking about the 'sender' mail header?
Some MTAs may encode that information in the "Sender:" header, yes.
