I think my answer is to edit SMTPDirect.py to set the Sender and Return Path, but I'm not sure what variable I need to use there. Is 'mlist.owner[:]' what I'll need? I'd want the specific list owner, not the site mailman owner.
What you need is mlist.GetOwnerEmail() which will get the list-owner@example.com address.
You don't want mlist.owner[:] because that is a list and you can't have a list of addresses as the SMTP MAIL FROM address (envelope sender).
Any mail returned to the list-owner@example.com address gets delivered to the owner(s) and moderator(s).
None of these are publicly subscribe-able lists, so the features of bounce processing are not valuable to us.
There are lots of reasons why addresses on even non-public lists become undeliverable, but presumably, you are willing to deal with these manually.
If I understand what you want, you can accomplish it by finding the code
# Calculate the non-VERP envelope sender.
envsender = msgdata.get('envsender')
if envsender is None:
if mlist:
envsender = mlist.GetBouncesEmail()
else:
envsender = Utils.get_site_email(extra='bounces')at the beginning of process() in SMTPDirect.py and changing it to
# Calculate the non-VERP envelope sender.
if mlist:
envsender = mlist.GetOwnerEmail()
else:
envsender = Utils.get_site_email(extra='owner')The else: clause comes into play for messages that don't come from a list, e.g. monthly password reminders.
