A post is considered to be from a member if a member's address is in
any of the From:, Reply-To: or Sender: headers or is the envelope
sender.
Normally, the Reply-To: address in the incoming post will also be in
the message sent to the list, but if you do Reply-To: munging
(first_strip_reply_to = Yes), it will be removed.
If you don't want to accept posts where only the Reply-To: address is a
list member, set
SENDER_HEADERS = ('from', None, 'sender')
in mm_cfg.py. The default is
SENDER_HEADERS = ('from', None, 'reply-to', 'sender')
where None means the envelope sender.
