My admittedly hazy (at the moment) recollection is that it's easy to spoof
the From: header when sending mail from Perl. If that'll satisfy mailman,
I'll work on that -- probably tomorrow. IIRC, all that needs to happen is
to use `sendmail` with the proper incantation, instead of `Mail`.

Oh, BTW, if it would be easier, maybe you could put me in the sudoers
file? Then I can just work on this by myself.
