begin  Alan DuBoff quotation:

	It's unique to mailman.

	The subscription rules and submission acceptance rules are not
the same.  There's a switch that Joey can flip to make it use the
message's From: header, but that's life.

	Well, all that Joey has to do is add your Sender: address to
the list of authorized posters (in the privacy options section of the
mailman config pages).  I do this from time to time, and generally I
don't need to update it very often.  In general, the volume of new
subscribers posting is so low that I can just authorize through a
message and then move on.
