Hello Allemail address comparisons are done by strict string equality of the mail aliases and mail domains.
I may have missed something but I am unable to find any information on this. I am wondering if there is any type of provision such that someone subscribed to a list as [EMAIL PROTECTED] can send mail to the list as either [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
yyy.zzz and xxx.yyy.zzz are different, unrelated mail domains so comparison will fail. I do not believe this is a Mailman issue per se, but is a generic email issue. Mailman is surely not 'entitled' to make assumptions, based on some lexical similarity between the two mail domains, that an alias valid in one domain refers to the same person as an alias valid in another domain.
To let people post from different domains and/or with different mail aliases to a list restircted to members only posting you will need them to have multiple subscriptions to the list and nomail all but one of them so they do not get multiple deliveries.
Any help is appreciated. Oh by the way version 2.1.2
