IMHO this is not something Mailman should worry about, it's a problem
for the MTA, either use SPF, DNSSEC, etc.

Under Postfix you can just run two instances, one for inbound mail, one
for outbound mail, the inbound instance doesn't accept mail appearing to
come *from* your domain. Of course this doesn't solve other spoofed
addresses, the answer to this lies in such things as SPF.

You could suggest the idea of passwords for every post to the MM3-dev
list, but other than that I don't think Mailman should have to worry
about spoofed senders, it's not its job.

Just my £0.02p
