The proper approach to this is to rewrite the From address on the outbound address as well as aliasing the inbound. If the outbound e-mail is some.user@, then all will work properly. Allowing e-mail into the box to be consistently different than e-mail out of the box is a misconfiguration to me. There is no way for Mailman to know that the 2 addresses are equivalent unless somebody goes in there and manually updates the permissions list. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
