The best way to handle a mailing list is to use a 'from' rule with the envelope sender (usually something like tmda-gui-admin@wolfhome or something similar). > to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ok > > Why, then, would the above-quoted thing happen? I mean, I know that TMDA > doesn't give a rip about the "From" header, but rather looks at the real > sender. But does TMDA also not look at the "To" header? You have it exactly backwards. TMDA looks at the envelope sender, >From field and Reply-To field for 'from*' rules and *only* at the envelope recipient (and not the To field) for 'to*' rules. And since the recipient is you and not [EMAIL PROTECTED], nothing matches. Finally, because TMDA recognized the mail as being from a list, it didn't send a confirmation response to Jeff.
