Here's something you can try. Since you don't have access to mm_cfg.py,
I assume you don't have direct access to
archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox either, but you can get
it from the web (if it's not too humongous) with a URL like
<http://www.example.com/mailman/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox>.
If you find the message(s) there, the initial "From " line and the
Return-Path:, if any, have the envelope sender. Then, the Reply-To:
and Sender: if any will be as in the original post, assuming your list
isn't anonymous and doesn't mung the Reply-To:

It should, assuming there's no 'real name' between From: and the
address and the address isn't in <>. I woul be inclined to try
something along the lines of

  ^from:.*[ <]_[^<> [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you give this rule a Hold action, then you can see the original held
message with the original incoming headers intact. You will even see
the presence of an Approved: header or body line if any, although this
isn't likely to be the reason the message gets through as it requires
the list's admin or moderator password.
