I hope some solution to this problem with mailing lists is found.
Maybe mailing list software should evolve and take ownership of the
RFC5322.From header and put in there the list's own email address
while retaining the original poster's descriptive name?
I see (*) that mailman already has an option for the mailing list address to take ownership of the
RFC5322.From header (see "Hide the sender of a message, replacing it with the list
address" in section "Spam-specific posting filters"):
http://staff.imsa.edu/~ckolar/mailman/mailman-administration-v2.html
(*) Although I'm not really sure if that is a Mailman general feature, or some
local feature implemented just in Aurora University's installation of Mailman.
Also, I see that in the Mailman Wishlist it is said "Allow admins to control and set
individual headers, adding, removing, or overriding those in the original message
(sometimes very useful, but could be dangerous!)":
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/todo.html
Therefore it looks like we are already half way there.
So, imagine a lists subscriber who sends email to a mailing list with this
RFC5322.From header:
From: "Sam Spade" <[email protected]>
Then the mailing list software would rewrite the RFC5322.From header when
forwarding the email to all its subscribers to look like this:
From: "Mailman-Sam Spade" <[email protected]>
And now, imagine this behaviour becomes the default for the majority of mailing
list software...
and then have all out-of-office replies etc. being bounced back to the
list...
