Most of our list users are in our own domain. That domain certainly is less spoofable in the envelope, because we don't accept mail from our domain unless it's been through our servers. We don't get spam with sussex.ac.uk in the envelope sender domain.

With SPF records now widely published, including by several large free email service providers, it's certainly within the power of sites to validate the envelope sender address of much of their inbound email. Losing this facility now would be a great shame.

I certainly don't see how having the option can do much harm.

It might be worth adding code to support BATV, if it isn't there already.

MM3 does not yet support this.

So, I've landed a branch that gets rid of the MM3 equivalent to USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER, but it will still be possible to consider the MAIL FROM or Sender addresses in preference to From, if you wanted to. I've implemented a site admin definable header lookup scheme so you can define the order that headers are considered. By default it's From:, MAIL FROM, Reply-To, Sender. This is a global order just like U_E_S was.
