Mailman is Open Source so you should be able to modify the news to mail gateway and change the sender so that it is always <listname>-admin.
Yes, yes, yes. You believe it is beyond your abilities or it will take a monstrous amount of work on your part, alas, but you are wrong. Take a look at the code. It's very easy to read and edit. Find the program/script that Mailman uses for the News-to-Mail gateway by looking at the Cron entries for the Mailman user. They are well documented, and should identify the script for you. ~mailman/cron/gate_news Now that you know the name of the script and its location, you can back up the script and then edit it. As a first try you might add the following line right before the comment: # Post the message to the locked list, msg['From'] = "<listname>[EMAIL PROTECTED]" I've no idea what the msg function is but... Python is increadably logical.
