Not really. 1.90 is the version after 1.62, and 1.90 has only been
released in the past month or so.

By "sent as if from", do you mean chaning your from: header, or
changing the envelope from address. 

If you mean changing the from: header, then you are out of luck. There
is no easy way to do that with majordomo, nor should there be since
the from line really should be the address of the person responsibile
for originating the missive. 

If you are trying to provide anonymous posting access, might I suggest
running an anonomyzer program on your machine and have it restrict its
remailing to the lists on your machine so that your anonomyzer isn't
abused.

This part sounds like you are trying to change the envelope from
address. If so, and you are not using sendmail 8.x, then yes, the
wrapper must be setuid to a trusted sendmail user, or the user name
that the wrapper is setuid to must be listed in the trusted line in
the sendmail config file.
