I was wondering why when something is sent to a mailman alias address is the actual email address manipulated to show a different non existing address.
For example, I create a mailman group "everyone" so now people can email <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and when the users get an email from that group, they see the following header info: Return Path = <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Original-To = <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To = <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> So when people see this, they attempt to send back to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and of course the email is rejected because that address does not exist. I as an email administrator understand how to read the header but most common users don't and almost always send to the wrong address. They become frustrated and annoyed with Mailman and want this fixed. I explain to them to not copy and paste the email address but rather to simply reply to all or reply to sender. Why does mailman do this? I don't understand the "bounce" parameter and or why it does not show its from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Thanks for any clarification or info on how to resolve this. -- Man your battle stations... ------------------------------------------------------ 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
