[Mailman-Developers] Sender field

[Jesper Jensen]

Why is the 'sender' header field set to the list admin address?
E.g.: Sender: mailman-developers-admin@python.org

I'm asking because I haven't seen this elsewhere.
Elsewhere being LISTSERV and eGroups.

I probably wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't because Outlook 2000 (maybe 
other versions) shows this information as the 'from' address in the preview 
pane separator.
This is probably a flaw in Outlook - I don't know - maybe it's on purpose.
The "correct" 'from' address is shown elsewhere in the program.

Anyway, back to my question, is Mailman doing this to conform with some 
rfc, or would it be safe to either remove the 'sender' header field og 
simply insert the "correct" 'from' address instead?


All the best,
Jesper.
