Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Marcus Börger (helly) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add new reply_to_list option 'Reply-To: Poster, CC: list, Fr Initial Comment: Add new reply_to_list option 'Reply-To: Poster, CC: list, From: list-bounces'. This new option sets 'Reply-To:' field to the original Poster, the 'Cc:' filed to the lest server and the 'From:' field to the list server with '-bounces' suffix. Rational: Mail servers like Ford Motor Company block incoming addressed with internal mail addresses in the 'From:' field as they identify this as a faked mail. The solution is to use the Poster in the 'Reply-To:' field and the list server in the 'Cc:' field. This way send reply and send reply to all still work. However RFC [2]822 specify that a mail clients should not send a reply to the from field for non explicit reply addresses like the 'Cc:' field. Thus the 'From:' field cannot contain the list server address but will contain the list server address with the bounces suffix. The attached patch is against 2.1.9. The solution was also tested on 2.1.5 and 2.1.6 installations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1671680&group_id=103
