Which headers are searched and in which order depends on several things
including context. You probably need to set USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER to Yes
in mm_cfg.py.
Here are the details:
There are two Mailman.Message.Message methods for getting the sender.
They are get_sender() and get_senders().
If USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER is Yes or True, get_sender() returns the first
address found from the headers Sender:, From:, and the unixfrom or
envelope sender. Otherwise the search order is From:, Sender:,
unixfrom.
OTOH, get_senders() returns a list of all the addresses found in all
the headers listed in SENDER_HEADERS.
Thus, changing SENDER_HEADERS has no effect on the address returned by
get_sender() and reordering SENDER_HEADERS only affects the order of
the addresses returned by get_senders().
The distinction is important, because in some contexts (e.g.
determining whether the sender is a list member), get_senders() is
used to get a list of addresses, whereas in other contexts (e.g.
determining if the sender is in *_these_nonmembers), get_sender() is
used to get a single address.
