Actually, after reading the Python source for Cleanse.py I don't understand why the system doesn't do what I want by default when the list is "flagged" as an anonymous list. It is not really clear from the web management interface what flags the list as anonymous, but I thought it was the 'yes/no' radio button associated with "Hide the sender of a message, replacing it with the list address (Removes From, Sender and Reply-To fields) (Details)" the last entry on the privacy screen. I have this set to yes and it does not strip the reply-to or received from header???? Thanks very much for your replies.

Actually it is simpler than that. Just put that in the Handler Cleanse, like so: (at the bottom) # We delete all these extra Headers because I don't want them del msg['X-URL'] del msg['X-Mailer'] del msg['X-Priority'] del msg['Subject'] del msg['received'] Then put the subject back in: msg ['Subject'] = 'Whatever You Want' The only drawback is that now all of the subjects will be the same. > You could deliver the mail to a script that extracts the subject and body > and then reposts it to the list, coming from a generic user. > > If you want to restrict posting to members, you could look up the actual > from address in the list before forwarding the post. > > Would that meet your needs? > > </edg> > > > > --On Friday, May 07, 2004 1:10 PM -0400 Michael Balamuth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > Hello list, > > We have been using Mailman 2.0.13 for quite some time, but never with the > > intention of creating a genuinely anonymous mailing list.
