I'm running a mailing list on couriermlm version 0.37.3-2.3 [1], but I have
problem that the readers of the mailing list get the same message with
different headers. Originally the message was sent to address
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The message gets delivered to a local account subscribed to the list with
the following headers (all seems to be ok excluding the Delivered-To header,
which also should be @lists.domain.org).
--8<--
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
List-Subscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Owner: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The message copy delivered to the external account (not hosted by the same
system that Courier runs under) however misses the "@lists" part in several
occasions. The most important is the Reply-To header, because the reply
can't be sent to the list as the user [EMAIL PROTECTED] can't be found.

The name of the mailing lists here is "my-list", the list owner's user name
is "list-owner" and the mailing list system user is "list". I have created a
subdomain "lists.domain.org" (cname for the real A entry "domain.org" in
dns) and all mail sent to that subdomain is forwarded to the mailing list
system user "list", which has the proper dot-courier files in its home
directory:

.courier-my-list
| /usr/bin/couriermlm msg /var/list/my-list
.courier-my-list-default
| /usr/bin/couriermlm ctlmsg /var/list/my-list
.courier-my-list-owner
/home/list-owner/Maildir

The list directory was created with the command
couriermlm create my-list [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and headerdel file contains the line
Reply-To:
and headeradd contains the line
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What causes the differences in the headers? Have I missed some step in the
configuration?

Do you always have to create a subdomain (e.g. "lists.domain") for a mailing
list with Courier (for forwarding the mail for a specific user) or can you
do with the normal aliases somehow (I think the aliases do not support
asteriskes, so it might be hard to cope with e.g. the generated subscribtion
reply addresses)?

/etc/courier/locals:
localhost
domain.org

/etc/courier/esmtpacceptmailfor:
localhost
domain.org
.domain.org
