What is happening is that Outlook is ignoring the "From" header and using either the "Sender" header or the envelope sender as the return address. This is in violation of the Internet standards for mail clients. I realize that it's hard to get users to change their mail clients, but that is the right solution to this problem. memmott> Anyways, is this the default behavior/ Is there any way memmott> to force it to send out emails as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and memmott> not awake-bounces? Mailman does not "send out mail as itself" in the default configuration; it simply forwards the mail and leaves the author's address in place. However, because it is sending mail to many addresses which may or may not be valid, it lists itself as the "Sender" so that delivery problems will be referred to Mailman, and not to the author. It is not possible to configure Mailman to use a different Sender. This is to protect your list from being spammed by returns of undeliverable mail. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
