	Within Mailman?  No.  You should fix that at the MTA.  Either fix 
it at the sending MTA, so that all addresses are canonicalized into 
one form or the other, or fix it on the MTA where Mailman is running 
so that all addresses are canonicalized.

	Alternatively, have the affected parties subscribe with both 
addresses, and then set one of them to NOMAIL.  This will allow them 
to post from either address, but they'll only get one copy of posts 
to the mailing list.
