Stock Mailman 2.1.12 doesn't do any DMARC detection. This is quite bizarre that they would backport such a feature rather than update to 2.1.18-1 or later. Mailman 2.1 is hardly an unstable package. > Normally the lists we use are configured with reply_goes_to_list > and anonymous_list is off.

That it doesn't go to the list at all, or that although it goes to the list, it *also* goes (separately) to the original poster? Not going to the list at all means the MUA is broken IMO; multiple addresses in Reply-To are explicitly allowed by the RFC, and MUAs should reply to all of them. > It seemed to me that a small modification to CookHeaders.py could > prevent the adding of the original sender email to "Reply-To" > > # We also need to put the old From: in Reply-To: in all cases. > if o_from: > add(o_from) > # Set Reply-To: header to point back to this list. Add this last After disabling the "add(o_from)" operation, if reply_goes_to_list is set, then (1) the reply goes *only* to the list by default, and (2) it is impossible for the user's MUA to automatically format a reply to poster. If reply_goes_to_list is not set, (1) reply by default will go to list (since it's the address in From), and (2) it is impossible to automatically format a reply to poster. It is our opinion that (2) is a sufficiently important bug that we are unlikely to change this, even to provide an option. But if you want to make that edit, it probably does what you want. Depending on your users, you may or may not get complaints about inability to respond privately. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] 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
