The first paragraph I think we confused each other. The address that Mailman would have in its list subscriber DB would be [EMAIL PROTECTED], so that the subscriber's MTA (Postfix) receives that address in the envelope-receiver, and delivers accordingly into the folder.
True.
It is not dependent on the To: header line, which can be whatever it wants.
If you're using full personalization, then the envelope recipient and the "To:" header will be the same. There's no way around that, unless you want to make source code modifications.
Otherwise, the "To:" header remains whatever it was, and the envelope recipient address has the "+" extension.
No personalization necessary. What I'm more concerned about is from the subscriber to Mailman. In that direction, the user's mail client has set up just [EMAIL PROTECTED], like normal. Mailman, thus, receives posts as such, and because it has [EMAIL PROTECTED] in its subscriber db, not [EMAIL PROTECTED], the post looks like it's coming from a non-subscriber.
Unless the subscriber configures their MUA to make sure that it always submits messages as [EMAIL PROTECTED] when submitting to the list, then this is an issue.
I was wondering if there was a config variable or something to handle this, or where in the post handling code does the subscriber-to-email matching take place, so I can possibly hack this?
The typical Mailman way to solve this problem is to subscribe both addresses to the list, and then set one of them to NOMAIL. This way the subscriber gets to control their own effective "whitelist" entry.
Otherwise, you have to deal with whitelisting the envelope sender address separately, which is a pain.
