You mean the envelope sender address? The IP address of the envelope sender?
yes, I mean exactly this, we're not retrieving them, neither by command line options nor by environment variables.
Ahh, yes. I'd forgotten that as I wrap Mailman's wrapper in a larger filter which does take and processes the envelope information.
However, there remains a distinct difference if several addresses are conflated to the same POP/IMAP box. In that case you lose the target side of the envelope, and thus can't determine reliably which Mailman-specific address/wrapper/alias to deliver the message to.
Doing it would probably be MTA-specific (i.e. less portable).
As of last I checked the Debian Exim packages ship with the no-alias-file-required Mailman configs by default.
