Thanks for the info. I will pass this onto the list admin.

These are settings for envelope sender from Defaults.py which is looking
like it is doing the right thing.

# The envelope sender is set by the SMTP delivery and is thus less
easily
# spoofed than the sender, which is typically just taken from the From:
header
# and thus easily spoofed by the end-user.  However, sometimes the
envelope
# sender isn't set correctly and this will manifest itself by postings
being
# held for approval even if they appear to come from a list member.  If
you
# are having this problem, set this variable to No, but understand that
some
# spoofed messages may get through.
USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER = No

How can we confirm that the MUA is doing the right thing? Would this be
one of the mailers sendmail would be using, like mlocal?
