Changing "From:" in header..
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dc787ddd93c8904b5d6f1617e243291d.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I'm managing 2 mail lists using MM 2.1.38 in cpanel. I set up a list last year and another list in the last couple months. As far as I can tell, both lists have the same options set in general. However, the new list has a very nice "From:" header format showing the full name of the person who posted, "Via", and the name of the list. The older list always just says the name of the list in the "From:" header. Can't seem to find a way to change this behavior to match the first list. I've looked through the help files and Wiki and have come up empty. Thanks for your time. Robert Wertheimer

On the newer list, the "From:" header format showing the full name of the person who posted, "Via", and the name of the list. is most likely because General Options -> from_is_list is set to Munge From, but could also be because Privacy options... -> Sender filters -> dmarc_moderation_action is Munge From but that would only apply to posts from users in a domain that publishes a DMARC policy of reject or quarantine.
In the absence of those settings, i.e., from_is_list = No and dmarc_moderation_action = Accept, the From: header should not be changed from the incoming post unless anonymous_list is Yes

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I have ensured that both options are identical on each list and yet, I still can't get the older list to use the format I'd like from the new list. Robert

from_is_list is set to "Munge From" and anonymous_list is set to "No" on both.

On the web admin General Options page set from_is_list to Yes and
anonymous_list to No

How about Privacy options... -> Sender filters -> dmarc_moderation_action? With from_is_list set to "Munge From" it shouldn't matter, but what is it set to?
