[Mailman-Users] return-path and virtual domains
Hi, I'm fighting a little bit with MM and virtual domains. I use postfix as MTA, the mailaddresses are stored in a MySQL-DB. Let's say, I have two domains: a.tdl and b.tdl, where a.tdl is the real name of the server. Using the scripts written by Martin Müller (http://www.web-cyradm.org/pipermail/web-cyradm/2003-April/000918.html), I have created a list [EMAIL PROTECTED]. The address of the list is an alias to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. When I post to the latter, everything works fine. But if I post to the desired address [EMAIL PROTECTED], the messages first were being hold for approval by the moderator. So I added this address to the acceptable_aliases. Okay, now I can post to this address, but the real name [EMAIL PROTECTED] is used as the return-path further on. Is there any way to completely hide the real address to the user?

Re: [Mailman-Users] True anonymous list?
You could deliver the mail to a script that extracts the subject and body and then reposts it to the list, coming from a generic user. If you want to restrict posting to members, you could look up the actual from address in the list before forwarding the post. Would that meet your needs? /edg --On Friday, May 07, 2004 1:10 PM -0400 Michael Balamuth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello list, We have been using Mailman 2.0.13 for quite some time, but never with the intention of creating a genuinely anonymous mailing list. Now, we have a reason to do so, but I have been unable to completely hide the originator (poster's) email address from the headers of the sent mail. Obviously, anyone knowing how to read the headers will find the address of the poster. So, is there a way to make a list anonymous even at this level? Any help appreciated.

That this problem only applies to Outlook, which, despite the name similarity, is quite different from Outlook Express. That FAQ entry says: In contrast many other MUAs including version of MS Outlook Express just render the From field using the value of the From mail header. I know what the entry FAQ says; I wrote it in July last year after some basic research and a cursory look at how a limited sample of some versions of the MS MUA products worked, following a spate of postings to this list about the displayed From field MS MUA users were seeing.
