[pmmail-list] Filter problem - canned replies

I use weasel and majormajor to run a subscription mail list. Now I
happen to already have a large number of email addresses that could
subscribe to the list. (Don't ask :-))

I have set pmmail up so that if a subscription request comes in from
majormajor and the address is already in my address book then the
message is automatically replied to - which effectively approves it.
No problem there.

The problem is the ones that *don't* appear in my address book. They
are easy to filter out but what I want to do is send a canned query
email to the requester, not majormajor. I can get the required
address out of the email easy enough, but cannot persuade pmmail to
send it to that address rather than majormajor.

So foo@bar.com sends a subscription request to list@somewhere.com

MajorMajor@somewhere.com sends me an email saying foo@bar.com wants
to join.

foo@bar.com is not in my address book so I want to send foo@bar.com a
canned reply. PPM wants to send it back to majormajor despite what I
put in the headers.

Any ideas?
