Based on the From: header. That's what majordomo and mailman do.

Anyway I'll see if I can fix the local mailsystems here so that I
can set the envelope-from as a mortal (exim disallows that by default).
Then I'll see if I can add -fmiquels@cistron.nl to the sendmail
invocation in .muttrc

Oooh, wait, I just discovered a new option in .muttrc, called
envelope_from. Perhaps that'll do what I want.

Mike.
