I have set up a number of mailserv managed mailing lists and on some am
trying to restrict the list of people allowed to issue the `subscribe'
command.  I am unsure about one point.  Which address does PMDF use
when checking against the file I specify?  Is it the From:-header,
Sender:-header, envelope-from, ... ?  The rejection message says only
	You are not authorized...
It would be helpful if it included the actual address it was trying to
match, as in
	You (bob@camb.com) are not authorized...

Needless to say, this question was prompted by a problem I have where
I thought I'd set things up correctly, but only some of the people I
wanted to authorize are able to issue the subscribe command.  The others
get the `not authorized' msg.

Thanks - Bob Tinkelman <bob@camb.com>
