Given that you also have distribution-ow...@myhost.com as an alias, is there an easy way of making it a "closed" list, such that only the list-members can write to it?

I am thinking of the committee of a small club (ten addresses at most).

Hello Wietse,

What I wrote was regardless of whether one uses mailing list

With Postfix aliases(5), if mail is sent to an alias 'foo', and

That's alias_maps not virtual_alias_maps.

there also is an alias 'owner-foo', then the enveloope sender

will be set to owner-foo. This behavior already existed in
Sendmail.


That sounds like you've found the solution for my problem... My
distribution list is *very* static. Only every few years something
changes.

So I have to add the members of the distribution list to the
aliases? Say, if my distribution looked like this (virtual_alias):

distribut...@myhost.com      a...@a.com, b...@b.com


What would I have to add to /etc/aliases?

Thank you for the pointer to aliases(5)!
