How about NOT changing any server settings, but instead setting up a new email account in your email client with your correct CLUG subscribe address. You would then filter CLUG emails into a folder in this account -- I do this using Evolution.
Your work-flow changes from 1. Thinks: I want to send a message to CLUG 2. Create a new message 3. In the new message, change the sender address to CLUG subscribe address 4. Type the CLUG mailing list address to 1. Thinks: I want to send a message to CLUG 2. Change to the CLUG folder/account -- I am usually there anyway, when I am thinking about CLUG matters 3. Create a new message -- the sender address is correct 4. Type the CLUG mailing list address You can still get it wrong if you do not follow the work-flow. But the whole thing it visible, is easily done by any user, and does not involve editing invisible mail configuration files. Thunderbird does not quite support this. At any rate, I have not found out how to set up multiple 'Local folders' accounts. I'm sure a bit of poking around in the Advanced Configuration will show how Thunderbird configures its local folders account -- it might be as simple as changing the mail.server.server<x>.type to 'none' rather than 'pop' or 'imap'. Other mail clients do allow you to configure multiple local mail folders in their own usual way.
