Hi Stephen,
You’re right. AOL does not accept these messages with ‘invalid’ at the end.
You’re recommending this:
name, addr = parseadder(msg.get('from')) if addr.endswith('aol.com') or addr.endswith('yahoo.com'): # I forget what happens if it's a bare address name = "%s (%s) via list" % (name if name else "Anonymous", addr) addr = <list-post address> del msg['from’] msg['from'] = formataddr((name, addrs))
Can I copy this code directly into the file? Is <list-post address> valid syntax? (I have 40+ lists)
Yours,

Subscribers at such sites may have trouble receiving mail, and your list(s) may be tagged as suspicious.
I would recommend the From-munging approach:
name, addr = parseadder(msg.get('from')) if addr.endswith('aol.com') or addr.endswith('yahoo.com'): # I forget what happens if it's a bare address name = "%s (%s) via list" % (name if name else "Anonymous", addr) addr = <list-post address> del msg['from'] msg['from'] = formataddr((name, addr))
Mark (or you) probably have better code, and in some cases you may want to add the addr to the Reply-To field.
< del msg['from'] < msg['from'] = formataddr((name, addrs)) \ No newline at end of file
