OK, thanks. Does anybody has a custom handler like that and is willing to share? I have no idea how to do this.

Is it possible to replace sender with name of of the mailing list, but keep senders email in reply-to intact? I would like members to receive email with From: Mailing List Name, but if somebody replies to the email then the email would go to the original sender of the message (and not to the list).

This would require a custom handler http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9 to rewrite the From: and add/replace/augment a Reply-to:

It can't be done with standard configuration settings.

How will people know who wrote each message?

Obviously, the Cabal authored it.

P.S. There is no cabal.

Thanks, Mark. I'm trying to use this just for one of the lists.

I added MyHandler.py in /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers, and in config_list added mlist.pipeline = [ 'Replybot', 'MyHandler', 'Moderate', 'ToOutgoing', ]

When I run config.list test-list I get

File "/usr/sbin/config_list", line 243, in <module> 'ToOutgoing', NameError: name 'mlist' is not defined

Something like this

from email.Utils import formataddr, getaddresses, parseaddr

def process(mlist, msg, msgdata): orig_from = parseaddr(msg.get('from')) orig_rt = msg.get_all('reply-to') del msg['from'] msg['From'] = formataddr((mlist.description, mlist.GetListEmail())) del msg['reply-to'] if orig_rt: rt_list = getaddresses(orig_rt) rt_addr = [x[1] for x in rt_list] if orig_from[1] not in rt_addr: rt_list += [orig_from] else: rt_list = [orig_from] msg['Reply-To'] = ', '.join([formataddr(x) for x in rt_list])

should do it. This will add the From: address to any existing Reply-To: if it isn't already there or create a Reply-To: if there wasn't one. It can go pretty much anywhere in the pipeline before ToDigest, but immediately before is good.

The list's anonymous_list and first_strip_reply_to must be No, and reply_goes_to_list must be Poster.

Sorry about that and thanks for your patience with this. I made all the changes. No errors are generated on config_list -i /home/files/config-file test-list However, when I send an email it gets delivered with unmodified reply-to header. From is replaced with the list name. When I hit reply, list address comes up, not the original sender address. I don't see anything in mailman error log. Here are the mail headers: http://pastebin.com/5qnms2wK From and Reply-to headers seem unchanged and are from the list (not the sender).

CAT /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/MyHandler.py #!/usr/bin/env python # from email.Utils import formataddr, getaddresses, parseaddr

def process(mlist, msg, msgdata): orig_from = parseaddr(msg.get('from')) orig_rt = msg.get_all('reply-to') del msg['from'] msg['From'] = formataddr((mlist.description, mlist.GetListEmail())) del msg['reply-to'] if orig_rt: rt_list = getaddresses(orig_rt) rt_addr = [x[1] for x in rt_list] if orig_from[1] not in rt_addr: rt_list += [orig_from] else: rt_list = [orig_from] msg['Reply-To'] = ', '.join([formataddr(x) for x in rt_list])

CAT CONFIG-FILE: mlist.pipeline = [ 'SpamDetect', 'Approve', 'Replybot', 'Moderate', 'Hold', 'MimeDel', 'Scrubber', 'Emergency', 'Tagger', 'CalcRecips', 'AvoidDuplicates', 'Cleanse', 'CleanseDKIM', 'CookHeaders', 'MyHandler', 'ToDigest', 'ToArchive', 'ToUsenet', 'AfterDelivery', 'Acknowledge', 'ToOutgoing', ]

I'm not sure what you mean by "in config_list added", but you should create an input file which contains only

mlist.pipeline = [ 'SpamDetect', 'Approve', 'Replybot', 'Moderate', 'Hold', 'MimeDel', 'Scrubber', 'Emergency', 'Tagger', 'CalcRecips', 'AvoidDuplicates', 'Cleanse', 'CleanseDKIM', 'CookHeaders', 'MyHandler', 'ToDigest', 'ToArchive', 'ToUsenet', 'AfterDelivery', 'Acknowledge', 'ToOutgoing', ]

I.e. it should look like the definition of GLOBAL_PIPELINE in Defaults.py with the addition of MyHandler immediately before ToDigest (and the comments removed).

Then you run

config_list -i path/to/above/file test-list

...

When I run config.list test-list I get

File "/usr/sbin/config_list", line 243, in <module> 'ToOutgoing', NameError: name 'mlist' is not defined

It looks like you may have modified the config_list program itself in some way rather than specifying the complete pipeline in an input file.
