OK - thanks for clarifying. I thought the “XXX” was something
specific to MailMate that was new. I checked all of the MM related
messages I have and I see the same thing; some have the “via
mailmate” and others don’t. I always figured it was due to the
sending host config or maybe an intermediate mail server action…
As to why it “matters” to me - two reasons really: **(a)** as you
mentioned, curiosity; and **(b)** more technically, to understand if
there any issues with having “via mailmate” in the from field?

I’m trying to figure out the reason why and how this can be
changed.
Antonio,
"XXX" is a placeholder. If you gather messages to the MailMate list
together, you'll see that the From field for some of them is the name
of the sender, together with sender's personal address. Others have
the name of the sender with "via mailmate" appended, together with the
list address. Marc is trying to figure out why. He may have a
task-related reason for that, or he may simply want to know in order
to better understand MailMate and mail systems in general. Why does it
matter to you?
I don't know the answer, but I wonder if it has something to do with
people who send to the list via the web page versus their personal
instance of MailMate.
