You can do this but it will require the cooperation of the Mailman host. The cooperation part is to set
SENDER_HEADERS = (None, 'from', 'reply-to', 'sender')
in mm_cfg.py. Putting None first will check the envelope sender before the From: header.
[...] Just for clarity, who exactly would perform the above change? My ISP who hosts Mailman? Can you give me the technically correct language I could use to suggest it to them? (i.e., so that they know exactly what to do)
This needs to be done by someone at the ISP who has the ability to write to the mailman configuration file which by default is at /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py, but may be elsewhere in their installation.
They would just add the one line
SENDER_HEADERS = (None, 'from', 'reply-to', 'sender')
to the end of the file. This will change the order of membership tests. Instead of checking for membership and moderated in the default From:, (envelope sender), Reply-To:, Sender: order, it will check in the order (envelope sender), From:, Reply-To:, Sender:.
From the host's point of view, this is a global change that affects every list, so they may be understandably reluctant to do it.
