[Mailman-Users] From: Header again...

[Thorsten Brabetz]

Sorry to repost this, but nobody took the bait the first 
time... I try it with a few more details, maybe the problem 
was not clear in my initial mail: 

I have the problem here that for security reasons, all 
E-mail here from all the different networks within 
university has to be relayed through one common E-mail 
relay server (which is and has to be different to the 
server that runs the lists). Authentication for the relay 
server is via the From: field, so I need to be able to tell 
mailman what to put in there (by default it is the list 
name, plus things like <list>-request, <list>-admin, etc.; 
these now need to go into the Reply-To: field, and the 
From: field needs to be something like mailman at domain.com, 
so that I then can get mailman at domain.com registered on the 
relay server as a trusted E-mail source...).

I am sure that this problem has not come up for the first 
time, and that it is well documented somewhere, but after 
searching all documentation, FAQs, etc. for the better part 
of three days now, I really would appreciate if somebody 
can point me into the right direction. Also my apologies if 
this problem is absolutely trivial, just give me some 
newbie credit!

I have tried things like "aliases" and "genericstable", but 
the wrapper seems to be applied last, overwriting any 
previous entry in the From: field. 

Setup here is Linux 7.3 using sendmail and SMTP. 

Thanks in advance!
 
Best wishes
