Mailing List "From Address"

I use a custom subscription account for Mercury. However, I thought the default address was maiser@ not postmaster@. To achieve this I did the following:

“Drive:\Mercury\mercury.ini” must be edited so that the [Maiser] header appears as follows:

[Maiser]
Maiser:          <Account-name>   # 'Username' of mail server account
Helpfile:        C:\MERCURY\Mercury\MAISER.HLP   # Help sent on failed maiser requests
Lookupfile:      C:\MERCURY\Mercury\MAISER.LKP   # Format file for the 'lookup' command
Send_dir:        C:\MERCURY\Mercury\SENDABLE   # Directory for the 'send' command
Logfile:         C:\MERCURY\Logs\Maiser\~y-~m-~d.LOG   # Mail server log file
Notify:          C:\MERCURY\Mercury\TMP   # Dir. for pending 'notify' commands
NoList:          N   # If 'Y', disable the 'list' command
Local_only:      Y   # If 'Y', local 'notify' commands only

Where the string ‘maiser’ appears in the *.mer files in the “C:\Mercury” folder, ‘maiser’ must be replaced with ‘<Account-name>’.

Edit your templates accordingly.

Is there a way to control the "From" address for the mailing list portion of Mercury/32 when it responds to automated user requests e.g. a subscription request.

Currently, it shows as "From: postmaster@domain.com"; however, in the mercury core module I have changed the postmaster to a different address.

I have tried changing the welcome/ farewell templates (in line with mercury's other templates)... however this does not work at all - the text shows in the body of the email.
