EXAMPLE:
configset GLOBAL sender = majordomo-owner@example.com
configset mylist sender =  mylist-owner

The sender configuration setting contains an e-mail address which is
used internally by Majordomo when informational documents, confirmation
instructions, and other notices are mailed in response to a Majordomo
command or a posted message.

Formally, this is the address used in "MAIL FROM" SMTP commands.  As a
result, most "bounce" messages caused by delivery failures will be sent
to this address.  Once the bounce messages have been processed, any
bounce messages that are intended to be read by a person will be sent to
the addresses in the bounce_recipients configuration setting.

The sender configuration setting is only used internally by Majordomo.
In contrast, the address in the whoami_owner configuration setting
frequently appears in the "From:" header of mail notices that are sent
by the Majordomo server.  For this reason, it is highly recommended that
you customize the whoami_owner configuration setting instead of changing
the sender configuration setting.

Majordomo will add a "Sender:" header containing the address in this
setting to each message that is posted to a mailing list.

If there is no domain given in the address, for example:
  configset mylist sender = webmaster
the domain in the GLOBAL whereami configuration setting is used.  If the
domain is example.com, the "webmaster" sender address would become
"webmaster@example.com" in this instance.
