[Mailman-Users] Strange occurence with incoming mail

[Jay Freeman]

Hello,

I've checked the archives for the past couple months and haven't seen
anything similar, so here goes. I've got a small list (named
Resonator-L) running on 2.0b4, and I have one user, from AOL, whose mail
shows up as being from resonator-l-admin at mail.j-freeman.net, instead of
as being from his address. Here is a header from one of his messages as
it looks coming from Mailman (actual address changed to xxxx at aol.com to
protect the innocent):

Return-Path:  <resonator-l-admin at mail.j-freeman.net>

I wrote him and asked if he'd check to see if his AOL mail software had
settings for Full Name and Reply-To, thinking this might fix the
problem, but I haven't heard back from him yet. Is this the behavior I
should expect when that information is not provided by the originating
mailer? Or should I report this as a bug? I'd be happy to do so if
someone can give me a quick tutorial on the proper procedure. I would
not b surprised to learn that the problem originates with AOL, it
wouldn't be the first time they have made their systems incompatible
with the real world :).

Thanks,

Jay
