Yes, although given the available alternatives in the web admin pages I don't think this is worth the trouble for almost anybody (I understand that you have a very special situation with a relatively old Mailman that's working just fine, thank you, for you, but that's pretty unusual nowadays). > This message could include the original From: address _in its body > text_ (not its headers) along with a brief reference to the yahoo > problem to explain the unusual format. > 1.

Change the display name to "Sonia Subscriber/lla" (the usual convention for letters written by a secretary but signed by the boss). > 2.

Add a "Reply-To: so...@her-place.net" header field. The recommendations above violate the letter but conform to the spirit of RFC 822 and successor standards. > The list admin can forward these replies, but in a few cases they > may contain confidential material that the admin shouldn't have > seen. The above practices should mitigate this issue. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
