#2 sounds like a better approach. I'll look into that. Thanks!

The "on behalf of" text is just MS Outlook's (and some other MUAs lik
Hotmail) way of displaying the From: header when there is a Sender:
header. In any case, Mailman's way of handling the From: in an
anonymous list is to make it "List description
<list_posting_address>". Replacing the list description with the
poster's name would require modifying the code in
Mailman/Handlers/Cleanse.py.

Here you could create a custom handler (see the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9>). If the message's metadata contains a
dictionary named decoration-data, that dictionary is used to update
the replacements available for msg_header and msg_footer. Thus if the
custom handler were in the pipeline prior to Cleanse, i.e. prior to
the replacement of the From: header, it could be something like:
from email.Utils import parseaddr
def process(mlist, msg, msgdata):
poster_name = parseaddr(msg['from'])[0]
if 'decoration-data' in msgdata:
msgdata['decoration-data']['poster_name'] = poster_name
else:
msgdata['decoration-data'] = {'poster_name': poster_name}
This would add %(poster_name)s to the replacements available for
msg_header and msg_footer, and its value would be the real name part
of the From: address of the original post or the empty string if there
wasn't a real name in the From:
