Yes, I think so.  It would be great if you could communicate with the
Sendmail folks to make sure that it can be configured this way for
Mailman sites.  I'll offer to help in any way I can, so feel free to
forward my email to them if necessary.

It would be great if Mailman and Sendmail could play better together.

Thanks,
