Mailman checks the envelope sender address. That may have been what you were referring to above (as a from line gets inserted in mbox formatted messages), but can be confused with the from header in a message. The envelope sender and recipient addresses are actually independent of the headers in message, though in typical use they will be derived from the headers of th original message. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
