For example, we have two domains, "le.ac.uk" and "leicester.ac.uk". All outgoing mail is rewritten to be sent from the domain "leicester.ac.uk", but users always use the short form. When subscribing users using mass-subscription, a list of addresses can be given as "user@le.ac.uk", but then mail from that user to the list will be rejected ("user@leicester.ac.uk" is not on the list!). This patch adds a hook into MailList.ApprovedAddMember and Mailman/Cgi/admin.py/change_options to call a transform function for each new address added to a list. The default for this function is to return the supplied address unchanged. An example for the above problem would be to define this function in the mm_cfg.py file, thus: def transform_email_address(email): (local, domain) = email.split("@", 2) if domain == "le.ac.uk": domain = "leicester.ac.uk" return "@".join([local, domain]) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1164464&group_id=103
