John,
I believe both of your problems will be fixed, or work-around-able in the next beta, released RRSN. You don't say what version of Mailman you're using, so I'll assume 1.0b9.

Using the envelope sender over the From: field is moderately less easy to spoof, but doesn't work for everyone. The next release will have a system-wide default USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER that can be set to false to use the From: field always. This ought to fix your problem (I may make this the default for the final release).
The interim fix if this is driving you crazy like it was me is to edit MailList.py and change "sender = msg.GetEnvelopeSender()" on line 1024 to "sender = msg.GetSender()" and rebuild.
This one consumed almost my full time for three days after I moved my lists from majordomo to mailman while I searched for a fix. Having to approve every post on four very busy lists is almost a full time job all by itself.
