I have just got started with mailman and have noticed that in non digest mode subscribers recieve posts from ie in their mail client FROM: field

listname@domain

Presumably this behavior is what you want. It occurs because the list admin General Options -> anonymous_list setting is Yes. This causes to the extent possible any information in the original message headers that could be used to help identify the original sender to be removed or replaced. In the case of the From: header, the original poster's From: is replaces with one containing the list's description and posting address. If anonymous_list is No, the original From: is left in the message sent to list members.

but in digest mode from;

listname-request@domain

I would prefer the former for both but cant seem to find how to change this?

This may be a historical artifact, but it's been that way 'forever'. There is no configuration setting to change it. You would have to change the code in the definition of send_i18n_digests() in Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py.

Note that there is a Reply-To: header in the digest with the list posting address so a 'reply' to a digest should be addressed to the list by default.
