I'm sorry i can't help more with this, no time - but mailman-developers is a more appropriate venue for the question, maybe you'll get some other attention there.

Context for mailman-developers - setting the "hide the message sender" privacy option doesn't seem to be working, and the code (in MailList.MailList.Post()) doesn't seem to be right - the reply-to is deleted, but the code is setting the address to the list admin, not the list proper. And it's not working anyway - as james d mentions below, wiring it to set the from to something else is not working...

I found the problem with the list not remailing anonymously. In routine Post(), it deletes the sender and reply-to fields and then sets the from field. However, it set the From field to self.GetAdminEmail. What I needed it to do (and what I believe it should be doing) is setting the From field to self.GetListEmail, which will return the list address.

However, I can't get the damned thing to change the From field for anything. I've even done a msg.setheader( 'From', 'listname@machine' ). That's hardwired in the Post() routine just for testing, and it isn't bloody changing the header... at all. I altered the MailList.py file, moved the MailList.pyc to oldMailList.pyc, and it still does the same damned thing. It sets the From field to whoever sent the message. Was I supposed to recompile the package or something to get my changes to take effect? I just don't know python or mailman well enough to know even this. Sorry.
