I would have to know more about his actual T-bird configuration to comment on that. > This would not be a big problem - but when he replies to a list message, the > reply is sent from "A" instead of "B", resulting in an error message from > Mailman... As Chris says, if he has more than one T-bird identity, when he composes a reply, the From: in the composition window is a pull-down list from which he can chose the identity he wants. I think this normally is the identity that the original was addressed to, but he should have control in any case. > He has analysed the headers and compared with the old list setup headers.

Delivered-To: is added by Postfix and perhaps other MTA's in the delivery chain (It's used by Postfix to detect mail loops). Envelope-To: is added by some MTA. Mailman has nothing to do with either. > And if there are by chance any Thunderbird-specialists among us: what can he > do to correct the situation? I use T-bird, but I'm not sure exactly what headers it uses when selecting a default From: address on a reply, but the user can always select a different one, although that's a step that's easily forgotten. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
