[Mailman-Users] password reminder question

[Christopher Adams]

This is interesting. In the header it appears that the password reminder was
sent out by " 'jog-admin' .... on behalf of mailman-owner..."

Looking through my logs, I find that the monthly reminder to all (9000+
users) was sent from 'jog-admin'. It appears that the correct information
was sent to all users, but some confusion developed when they saw the
address that sent it.

So, can anyone verify that this is a true bug in Mailman 2.0.10? Does it
pick a list at random to use to send the reminder "on behalf of
mailman-owner"?
