I know I can use this kind of workaround, but it doesn't seem much 'professional', as the real address/name is shown in the web interface and messages. Also, I want to ease the management for the users and every time someone creates a list I'll need to create a dozen of aliases for it, it isn't practical. Maybe I could do it with a regexp mapping, but... I think you got it. It seems that I'm using a screwdriver to hammer a nail. > > And other mappings as needed for the various Mailman commands.

Seems better then the first suggestion, but a another list manager seems even better (BTW: as far as I could see, Sympa is a lot better!) Another thing that bugs me, is that the Mailman's Brazilian Portuguese translation is SCARY. If I'd stick with Mailman I'd like to spend some time improving it. > I don't know about other MLMs, but I am sure you can solve your > problem with some Postfixation. Thanks anyway for your suggestions ;)
