For several reasons, mainly because the members of the list are competing businesses and they will want to know exactly who they are replying to. I know all this defeats the purpose of an anonymous list. But it has to be as easy as possible or the members won't use it. So what ever I can do to insure this will make every thing better.

[Mailman-Users] Sender Name in message
I'm running Mailman 2.1.5 I've looked through the archives and have yet to find an answer to this. I'm running an anonymous discussion list. The list is setup so replies are by directed back to the list. I would like to be able to add the senders/posters name (the (optional) name that is in the system) to the header, message or footer. I want it this way to dummy proof the list by forcing a signature. Any way this can be done?

It tells you how to enable personalization on an installation, and how to set it up per list.

[Mailman-Users] Sender Name
I know that Mailman was not necessarily designed to be a distribution list manager, but I have a few lists that I have created for this purpose. What I am curious about is whether or not there is a way for a message, when sent to a list, to appear as if sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of User Name Any information would be much appreciated. -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
