Some questions about mailing list email addresses that messages come from
Hi,
we have installed mailman-2.1.9-4.el5 on Centos 5.
What i notice is that when i subscribe or when i receive a message from the mailing list all messages are send from listname-bounce@myhostname.tld.
Why this happen? Should it send messages using aliases defined in /etc/mailman/aliases?
When i unsubscribe from the list, from filed is also listname-bounce@....
What i have done wrong?
I have this configuration for this list:
moderator = [] description = 'my description' info = 'something here' subject_prefix = '' anonymous_list = 1 first_strip_reply_to = 1 reply_goes_to_list = 0 reply_to_address = '' umbrella_list = 0 umbrella_member_suffix = '-owner' send_reminders = 0 welcome_msg = '' send_welcome_msg = 0 goodbye_msg = '' send_goodbye_msg = 1 admin_immed_notify = 1 admin_notify_mchanges = 0 respond_to_post_requests = 1 emergency = 0 new_member_options = 256 administrivia = 1 max_message_size = 1024 host_name = 'myhostname.domain.tld' include_rfc2369_headers = 0 include_list_post_header = 0 max_days_to_hold = 2 preferred_language = 'en' available_languages = ['en', 'es'] encode_ascii_prefixes = 2 nondigestable = 1 msg_header = '' msg_footer = """_______________________________________________ %(real_name)s mailing list %(real_name)s@%(host_name)s %(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s""" scrub_nondigest = False digestable = 0 digest_is_default = 0 mime_is_default_digest = 0 digest_size_threshhold = 0 digest_send_periodic = 1 digest_header = '' digest_footer = """_______________________________________________ %(real_name)s mailing list %(real_name)s@%(host_name)s %(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s""" digest_volume_frequency = 1 advertised = 1 subscribe_policy = 1 unsubscribe_policy = 0 ban_list = [] private_roster = 2 obscure_addresses = 1 default_member_moderation = 1 member_moderation_action = 0 member_moderation_notice = '' accept_these_nonmembers = [] hold_these_nonmembers = [] reject_these_nonmembers = [] discard_these_nonmembers = [] generic_nonmember_action = 3 forward_auto_discards = 0 nonmember_rejection_notice = '' require_explicit_destination = 1 max_num_recipients = 10 header_filter_rules = [] bounce_processing = 1 bounce_score_threshold = 5.0 bounce_info_stale_after = 7 bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings = 3 bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval = 7 bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner = 1 bounce_notify_owner_on_disable = 1 bounce_notify_owner_on_removal = 1 archive = 1 archive_private = 0 archive_volume_frequency = 1 nntp_host = '' linked_newsgroup = '' gateway_to_news = 0 gateway_to_mail = 0 news_moderation = 0 news_prefix_subject_too = 1 autorespond_postings = 0 autoresponse_postings_text = '' autorespond_admin = 0 autoresponse_admin_text = '' autorespond_requests = 0 autoresponse_request_text = '' autoresponse_graceperiod = 90 filter_content = 0 pass_mime_types = """multipart/mixed multipart/alternative text/plain""" filter_filename_extensions = """exe bat cmd com pif scr vbs cpl""" pass_filename_extensions = '' collapse_alternatives = True convert_html_to_plaintext = 1 filter_action = 0 topics_enabled = 0 topics_bodylines_limit = 5 topics = []

You have done nothing wrong. The aliases defined in /etc/mailman/aliases are only for delivery of mail to Mailman. They have no involvement without outgoing mail.
Messages from Mailman are normally sent with envelope from and Sender: equal to the LISTNAME-bounces addresses so that bounces are returned to that address and can be processed automatically.
In your case, the list is anonymous so the From: header of outgoing posts is set to the list posting address.
The information in the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/RoA9> may also be relevant in your case.
