Let me explain further....

The sendmail command is given by cmd = mm_cfg.SENDMAIL_CMD + ' -f ' + mlist.GetAdminEmail() + ' '

So the sender is set to be the list admin address. However when sending passwords out presumably there isn't a single list thats being dealt with - so will that mlist.GetAdminEmail() work correctly?

[Unfortunately I still find reading python a significant chore and its taking time to get up to speed on being able to answer this stuff myself :-( ]

I definitely recommend people use SMTPDirect.py instead, especially after the qrunner additions in 2.0beta2.

I had missed the implications of that change - I definitely agree that SMTP injection looks like a win here, so I'll reconfigure my box back.

One module that all messages pass through is CookHeaders

This looks like a change... the admin messages have had more header processing done on them. As I said before, its not actually a problem, just a change that caught me out slightly (some admin mail was being misrecognised by my procmail as list mail so ended up in the wrong bucket - I will take a cluebat to my procmailrc :-) ).

The other advantage to moving to SMTPDirect as a delivery scheme is that my exim HOWTO works unchanged :-)
