The ezmlm package has a number of problems that make it really annoying
to deal with; it has its own way of interpreting message headers which
isn't much related to any RFC. The primary problem is the fact that it
considers the "Return-Path" header (i.e. the envelope sender) to be the
authoritative address of the sender, superceding the From and Reply-To
headers. The only way around it is to "spoof" the envelope sender,
thereby falsifying your headers. Gahgh.
Now ... if you were to write a class to manage Mailman configs ... that
would be useful. ;-)
