Thank you for the links Mark.

It looks like mine is based off of the original (or a close variant 
there of).

The version I'm running:

    $VERSION = '$Id: mm-handler,v 1.2 2002/04/05 19:41:09 bwarsaw Exp $';

mm-handler-5100:

    $VERSION = '$Id: mm-handler 5100 2002-04-05 19:41:09Z bwarsaw $';

It looks like the changes consisted of the following:

  - Changing how the sendmail binary is called ($SENDMAIL) to pass 
different options:
     - Change the ErrorMode from m (mail back) to q (return code)
     - Change the from to be the null reverse path.
     - Set to never return a DSN.
     - Sets outgoing DNS parameter to only return headers.
     - Sets an outgoing envelope ID.
  - I extensively re-wrote / re-factored what was a simple multi-line 
print to use MIME:: modules to build a proper DNS with all three 
sections.  (The last section is just the headers b/c of the outgoing 
SMTP parameter.)
  - I tweaked the ADDR: label to return an SMTP error (553 5.1.1 
<$list\@$server>...) error message.

Let me know if you'd like me to port these changes to mm-handler-2.1.10.

I may do this anyway to be running a newer mm-handler*.

Aside:  I've often contemplated a milter that could hook into the Python 
pickles to optionally reject messages at SMTP time if a non-subscriber 
tries to send an email to a list.
