Hi! Mailman is great, mailman is good, all hail mailman :)
I have to administer a mailing list for which a special requirement was requested: It will be a moderated list where only special people might be able to send mails through. All these mails should have the same From: header, so I thought using the �anonymous_list� might be a good idea -- but I don't see any chance to specify what mailman will put in there. It simply always puts [EMAIL PROTECTED] in there, which is someone we would like to change. Is there a posibility to make this configureable in future versions? I guess this could be quite helpful for others, too. Along the same lines, might it be possible to have an option to rewrite the To: header, too? It should become a more or less "hidden" setup here, so that could be of help. There is one thing that I like to question: The envelope-sender is set to the -bounce address. From my understanding it must be sufficient to set the Return-Path header to the -bounce address for it to work correctly. The reason why I question this is that there are some mail servers/clients (especially lotus notes) that display something like this: |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or something along these lines, I was just told about the german string that is in between). This doesn't look quite nice and is afaik not needed, for the only header used for bounce messages must be return-path anyway. If these things aren't that easy to change (I would be pleased if someone can send me a patch over, for I'm not that well in python (or rather baaad)), can someone tell me if there is a way to tweak sendmail to change this? I guess I shouldn't be the first to be faced with this problem, so some might already have found a solution for this in sendmail on their own. Otherwise I'd have to use a private mailing-skript in the meantime that allows me to set the headers on my own, and set just the return-path to the -bounce address to get into the benefit of the bounce control mailman does. It's just these special requirements in this case... Btw., I do love mailman, did I mention that already? alfie ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
