[Mailman-Users] Limited posting

[Amanda]

This sounds familiar! Only we get ~1800 per edition of newsletter... doctors really love their "Your message has been received" and "I'm out of the office today" vacation settings. :-)

Quick and dirty answer - you could set your Reply-To to some other location. That will of course direct not only the vacation messaging, receipt-acknowledgements, and other bargle to that reply-to, but also all the unsubscribes, tech-question mail, and whatnot. You *can * route it to the bitbucket if you like (e.g. an alias that points to /dev/null) or you can route it to a box you can
sift through (manually or otherwise) at your convenience.

Bounce and rejection notices should still come back to the apparent sender of the message (in your case, listowner), which can be handy if you want to count bounces (which we do).

So I set the e-mail address of the person who composes the newsletter as the only one allowed to post to the list. So, in order to protect my users from their users :) I set the list to hide the sender of the message.
