Since disabling the Sender header processing is literally a one-line patch, we're going to go ahead and do it. If it breaks horribly (even for a small percentage of users) we'll know; if it makes our users happy, we'll know that too.
Definitely let us know how it goes!
We haven't rolled it out yet (because we want to do at least some cursory testing first), but just FYI, I've attached the patch we came up with. (I'm not sure if Mailman will eat it; if not, I'll resend it inline.)
This problem is so bad for us that some list owners are demanding that we abandon Mailman in favor of some other list manager. ([Our list owners are] also incensed about Mailman's bounce processing options, but that's another topic.)
Please do start a new thread with your feedback here. Fixing the bounce processor is definitely one of the things I want to do for MM2.2.
Will do.
