[Mailman-Users] Gmail RFC 2822

I am not sure the best place to solve this problem but I will start with
this list since the problem is impacting a heavy traffic mailman listserv.

Google recently started enforcing only a single From: header in RFC2822
causing bounces to members of a very heavy traffic list.  A single person
with bad mail client configuration is getting all of the Google Apps
recipients removed from a list frequently.

Postfix log entry:

My question is can Mailman strip out the duplicate From: headers leaving
the first one?  I have searched for a Postfix solution with no luck.  I
guess I could work up a procmail solution for all inbound mail but really
didn't want to add that layer of complexity if it could be handled by
Postfix or Mailman.

Thanks,
Dave
