hello to all one question: is there a easy way, to mail to all of the list-administrators or do I have to set up a list for them seperately? thanx Stefan
Many of my users send mail to my lists from Netscape. Unfortunately, it seems to munge out the hostname from the Sender: header, so that "nick@zork.net" would have a "Sender: nick" header. Mailman seems to pay undue attention to this header when deciding if the user is authorized to post or not. Mailman also won't let me add in any address that doesn't have an at sign to the approved posters box in the privacy options. As a matter of fact, once it sees an incomplete address, it truncates the list right there.
Also, I can't seem to find an archive option to allow archiving of forwarded mail. All forwards to my list are snipped, making for some inscrutible discussion threads in the archives. I need complete archives of my lists. Is this just some built-in pipermail nonsense or what?

This was reported back in August and added to the Jitterbug bug database for Mailman.
The only solution that I know of is to preprocess the list with a procmail recipe that in turn removes the existing Sender: header if it matches certain criteria, then replaces it with the next most obvious address retrieved via 'formail -r'.
It's a hack, but it may help until this gets fixed. (For what it's worth, Netscape isn't exactly doing RFC-compliant things either by not providing a fully qualified address).
I have no idea about your question regarding forwarded messages and pipermail.
