The envelope sender address is the address to use for bounces, SPF and
little else.  It can change in transit (e.g. SRS).  Therefore, you
should use the *header* "From:" address, which is also the address that
replies would typically go to, ...

The actual email address of the message author appears in the "From:"
header, and that's the address that is requesting to join the list.
