I'm trying to set up an announcement-style list using Mailman, but I'm having a few problems getting it to do exactly what I want. As I see it, there are two ways of implementing a secure announcement list:
1. Approve each message as it is posted. This is fine, except that due to the high volume of messages and number of lists that are involved I am unable to approve every message via the web interface. As far as I can see there is no method of bypassing this by using a password at the top of the e-mail (e.g. Approved: password) or in the posting address itself (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
2. To allow one address (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) to automatically post without approval. This works fine, except that should anyone find out the address, the list would become insecure. Therefore I turned on the anonymous_list option so that the source address is masked and replaced with the list address. The only problem with this is that the e-mail arrives at the destination with the header:
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
...where test is the list name. Is there any way to change this to simply:
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or, ideally:
From: CustomName [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Alternatively, if you have any other suggestions on how I can achieve a secure announcement list, I would be very grateful to receive them.
One other quick question - is there an easy way to set up a 'super-list' that posts to all the subscribers of a number of sub-lists, without sending a duplicate message to subscribers who are on more than one of the sub-lists?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Howard
