Description:
------------
Due to a bug in "mail-functions.c", mlmmj always adds a trailing space to the envelope sender. This prevents some standards-compliant MTAs (e.g. OpenBSD's OpenSMTPd) from actually sending mails - hence making mlmmj unusable.

Test script:
---------------
Send any mail to a mailing list managed by mlmmj and a standards-compliant MTA (e.g. OpenBSD's OpenSMTPd).

Expected result:
----------------
The mail being sent to all list subscribers.

Actual result:
--------------
The MTA rejects to mails that mlmmj tries to send.

A short snippet from the "/var/log/maillog" of an affected server:
