I appreciate that the MailMan team is awesome & doing the best that can be expected given the new DMARC restrictions being forced on us all. Thanks guys!
FEATURE REQUEST: A setting to configure the new "From" line. Instead of FROM: Author_Name via ListName <ListName@lists.example.com>
I want to request that MailMan let the list admin config the text after the author's name in the FROM line. I would use this setting to say: FROM: Author_Name via Club Name <ListName@example.com>
- substituted test string "Club Name" for "List Name"
- substituted explicit reply_to_address instead of list address.
More details:
DreamHost just installed 2.1.17 so that's what I have to work with. I don't know why they didn't go all the way to the newest version this week.
My email lists are served from a sub-domain that I don't use for anything except lists. lists.example.com That is a given, not my option.
I have things figured out as well as can be for my situation. The settings we are going to use are: reply_goes_to_list = Explicit address reply_to_address = everybody@example.com (as opposed to everybody@lists.example.com ) from_is_list = Mung From first_strip_reply_to = Yes
The only difference is from_is_list = Mung From. The other settings are the same as before DEMARC.
This makes it almost as good as before Yahoo ruined all mailing lists worldwide.
Differences before & After DEMARC BEFORE: FROM: Author_Name <Author@example.com> TO: ListName <everybody@example.com> REPLY-TO: ListName <everybody@example.com>
We liked it like that. Everything was fine.
AFTER DEMARC, using the best settings for us that we can:
FROM: Author_Name via ListName <everybody@lists.example.com> TO: ListName <everybody@example.com> REPLY-TO: ListName <everybody@example.com>
This is *pretty good* except that
- I don't like the "via list name" in the from header, even though I understand that is the new reality.
- I don't like the lack of an author email address.
I also tried: first_strip_reply_to = No But that means a normal reply will go to both the list & the author. So the author will get 2 copies, and I don't feel that is desirable, even though it seems to be the only way to include the author's email address.
FEATURE REQUEST:
A setting to control the new "From" line. Instead of FROM: Author_Name via ListName <everybody@lists.example.com>
I want to request that it offer the option to let the list admin config what goes there after the author's name. I would use this setting to say:
FROM: Author_Name via Club Name <everybody@example.com>
substituted "Club Name" for "List Name", and used
explicit reply_to_address instead of list address.
