* This is the modus mailing list *

Tom,

The way I work around this is to put the list's actual address into the
"Bcc:" field and either a generic address (usually I use the same in the
"From:" which is one that goes to me and/or others) in the "To:" field.

This prevents the recipients from seeing the actual mailing list's
address and if they send to the "To:" address, it only goes to me and/or
the others specified on that address.

For added security, I keep the mailing list set to disabled (Lists >
General > Disable mail list) which returns a bounce that the list is not
accepting messages.  That's kind of a pain, but it prevents anyone else
from figuring out the list address and sending mail to the members.

* This is the modus mailing list *

Big Problem :-(

Is there a way to hide  or fake the "to" line in the email header when
sending to a mailing list ?   For example if I created a (Closed)
mailing list with the name of [EMAIL PROTECTED]  which is tied to a
text file that has all my users email addresses.  Then I send an email
to that list,  it shows the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the email message
(BAD BAD).

That field needs to be spoofed or blanked out.  I don't want my users
sending an email to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and everyone seeing it.   I
see there is a moderator option,  but lets say I set that to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is stopping one of my users from simply using
webmaster as his pop3 name and then sending the email message ?

Our old email server put the members email address in the "to" field. So
each member only saw his/her name in the "to" field.

I want to be the only one who can send/post email to this userlist and
by hiding the email address of that userlist, that is one more step in
securing it!

Thanks

Tom
