[Mailman-Users] change password reminder From: header?

[Matt Ruzicka]

I'm sort of surprised to not see this come up more often at the first of
the month so I' wondering if I'm searching for the wrong string in the
archives and Google or if I'm doing something foolish.

Same question as I found asked back in 2002.

Is there a way that I can cause mailman to send the password reminders as
the list owner instead of the site owner?

I realize the answer given in this thread (to ignore them) would "work",
but really I am more interested in getting these bounces, and more
importantly the responses to the password reminders, to the list owner so
they can address them.  I'm equally as disinclined to silently trash them
as I am in taking the time to find the list they are from and forward them
to the appropriate list owner.

Am I just missing something?

I am guessing there is not a "reminders_from_listowner" option I am just
missing, so I was interested in how others deal with this.

Is there a technical reason this option isn't available and if not is this
something that is being considered for future releases?

Thanks in advance for any insight and suggestions.
