I don't think there is a push-button solution to this problem. I can only think of two ways to easily modify the From: field in the email
- Run the mail destined for the list through a pre-processor like a procmail script which then replaces the From: header with something appropriate (something that will let your relay server pass it on) - Modify the source for Mailman so that it substitutes in a From: header that works for you Good Luck - Jon Carnes On Thu, 2003-02-20 at 09:30, Thorsten Brabetz wrote: > > > Sorry to repost this, but nobody took the bait the first > time...
