Hi!
At a site I am doing administration for, I am subscribed to numerous
mailing lists. For each mailing list, I have used a different
subscription address since I'd like to find out which list is being
scanned by spammers to pull addresses from. All incoming mail to these
lists ends up in the same mailbox though. My MUA on that system is
mutt 0.95.3, MTA is exim 3.12.
When I try to send a message to one of these mailing lists, I change
From: to the address I am subscribed with since the list is
closed-post. exim notices that From: doesn't fit the account I am
mailing from and adds a Sender: header showing the address associated
with that account. This is compliant with RfC822.
However, the MLM that handles this particular list verifies list
membership against Sender: if that header is present and thus rejects
my message since I am subscribed with a different address. I feel that
this MLM is at fault here since my MTA is doing everything "by the
book".
A possible solution is to disable exim's feature to add a "Sender:"
header in that case, but I'd like to refrain from doing so.
May I ask your opinion?
Greetings
Marc
