Mailman doesn't use secret aliased.
That's good.

Mailman v2.0 authenticates on From: or envelope (you pick).

Mailman v2.1 authenticates on From: and envelope.
Pardon me for being a pain here, but isn't it ridiculously easy to forge a From:, and also rather easy to forge an envelope?

Now I'll be humble and admit that I don't even know what an envelope is. So my question about the envelope really boils down to: if I have root access on a machine other than the one Mailman is running on, can I fool Mailman's envelope recognition?
