Someone has complained that they were subscribed to a mailing list I
control using the wrong email address for them.  Unless their setup has
changed (which I actually think is the most likely possibility), it appears
that LISTSERV used the 'Sender:' address instead of the 'From:' address.  I
looked through RFC822, which the documentation says the LISTSERV software
follows, and that would appear to violate it.

So, my question is:  Is it actually _possible_ for LISTSERV to be
configured to look to 'Sender:' for the address to be subscribed, or is
this definately a problem at the other end?  Or did I misinterpret RFC822?

Thanks a lot.  Sorry to bother y'all.
