Accepting and Rejecting Mails
Hello,
I am just doing some tests with a newly created list.
I am a GoogleMail user, I configured GoogleMail to be authorized to use each of my distinct email addresses as sender address (to be able to send from my bussiness address from home and vice versa....) I experienced the following behaviour: My GMail address is the list administrator's address.
If I send from GoogleMail, regardless of the sender's address chosen (different domain names to choose from), each mail is accepted for the list and not put on the waiting list for moderator approval. Could this be due to the fact that GoogleMail is somehow present in the mail's header as the originating mailer?
I use Mailman 2.1.13.
Thanks for your help...
Sascha,

By default, Mailman examines the From: header, the envelope sender of the message, the Reply-To: header if any and the Sender: header if any of the incoming message to determine if any of these contains the address of a list member. If so, the post is considered to be from the first member address found for purposed of moderation.
Test by sending messages from googlemail either to yourself at a non-googlemail address or to the list with Bcc: to yourself at a non-googlemail address (I say use a non-googlemail address because googlemail has a habit of discarding messages that have the same Message-Id: as ones in your Sent folder), and examine the headers of the message. The envelope sender is supposed to be reflected in a Return-Path: header in the received message, but not all MDAs are compliant.
You can change what things mailman looks at for list mambership. See the setting SENDER_HEADERS in Defaults,py and override it in mm_cfg.py if you wish.
