I noticed that Mailman keys on the Sender: field when you email in a subscription request. Is this really necessary? Is it possible to reconfigure Mailman to key on the From: field instead? Is this more or less desirable? Since confirmations are always in place it seems to me that there's enough protection as it is without using the Sender: field.
That will be in the 2.0 release. It's supposed to be supported in 1.1, but it's a little broken. I posted a patch to 1.1 that allows From matching, so you can check the archives and find it if you don't want to wait.
