Hi Mark,
Thanks for the prompt reply! The problem was my settings in my Thunderbird mail client and NOT mailman. So, you can mark this as solved!
As you suggested, I checked the From: field in the message source and it was including the sender's "name via" as it should. I then checked it with my webmail clients, Squirrelmail and Horde, which also properly displayed the sender's name. Then, I discovered a setting in Thunderbird which caused my problem at: Edit > Preferences > Advanced > "Show only display name for people in my address book" which was checked. When I unchecked this then the sender's name started showing up properly in Thunderbird too. The problem was caused by my having that specific mailing list address in my Thunderbird address book whereas all of my other mailing lists are not in my address book. This may help y'all in the future for Thunderbird users since having that preference checked is the default Thunderbird setting and will prevent the sender's name from appearing in the From: header for mailing lists that are in the Thunderbird address book.
Again, thanks for your reply. Your suggestion sent me directly to the cause of the problem.

Hello,
I am runningseveral mailing lists with mailman version 2.1.18-1. Oneof my mailing lists does not ever show the sender's name in the From: headerfor DMARC domain policy=reject while the rest of my lists do show the sender's name in the From: header. I have compared the individual list settings and cannot find anything different. The list settings for the list that isn't showing the sender's name are as follows_:
_General Options:
from_is_list = No anonymous_list = No first_strip_reply_to = No reply_goes_to_list = "This list"Privacy options > Sender filters:
dmarc_moderation_action = Munge From dmarc_quarantine_moderation_action = YesMy understanding is that one of the following should be displayed for a DMARC domainpolicy=reject:
The author's display name fromtheir From: header or; If none and from a list member, the members real name from the membership list or; If none, at least the local part of the emailaddress. This understanding is correct.
Does anybody have any idea what setting that I need to change to fix this? It should work with the settings you have.
If you look at the raw message source of one of these messages from the list, what does the From: look like? Is it
From: via LISTNAMElistname@list.domain
with only a single space between 'From:' and 'via' or something else? Also, what is in the Reply-To: header in addition to the list posting address?
There is a bug in this area. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1318025. If these posts are all from a single user, it could be due to a missing or unparseable From: header in the incoming mail.
