Greetings...
So I run a bunch of mailing lists, with a bunch of people who are not technically adept whatsoever. ("I am not getting list posts! "That's because you set yourself to no mail" "What's no mail?" "It means you set yourself to be a member of the list, but not to get any email from it." "Oh that's good." "So we're good then?" "But why am I not getting any emails from the list?" *headdesk*--yes this was an actual conversation with a user.)
People are, of course, bitching about the from_is_list setting removing the email addresses of people who are sending email to the lists. (And people aren't quite understanding that it's helpful to sign one's emails, etc.
So I updated to 2.1.18-1 today. Now we have a Reply-To that has the poster's email and the list's email address.
A few of the lists I run block emails with more than one recipient, so now this is going to be an adventure. (Ok, more like a nightmare, as right now it appears my choices are "make reply-to only the list" ("anonymous_list") or "make reply-to the poster and the list.")
I wonder if this solution might be more helpful here--something like what Google Groups is doing. Changing the From line to this:
'First Last <firstlast@domain.com>' via List Title <list-address@googlegroups.com>
This still shows the poster's email address (as the Real Name), which makes it easier for people to reply privately if they choose, and still addresses the DMARC issue.
Thoughts? Ideas?
Best, --Glenn
