You could do this in several ways. If you really want to do exactly
what you said, you could change
realname = self.real_name
msg = Message.UserNotification(
self.GetMemberAdminEmail(name), self.GetRequestEmail(),
_('Welcome to the "%(realname)s" mailing list%(digmode)s'),
text, pluser)
to
realname = self.acceptable_aliases[0]
msg = Message.UserNotification(
self.GetMemberAdminEmail(name), self.GetRequestEmail(),
_('Welcome to the "%(realname)s" mailing list%(digmode)s'),
text, pluser)
but then you have to guarantee that every list has at least one entry
in acceptable_aliases, because referencing self.acceptable_aliases[0]
will throw an IndexError exception if the acceptable_aliases list is
empty.
A more realistic approach would just be to use the normal list posting
address, not an alias. Then the code would be
realname = self.getListAddress()
msg = Message.UserNotification(
self.GetMemberAdminEmail(name), self.GetRequestEmail(),
_('Welcome to the "%(realname)s" mailing list%(digmode)s'),
text, pluser)
Note that both of the above change only the first line - the assignment
to realname.
If you really wanted to get fancy and use an alias iff there was one,
you could do
if self.acceptable_aliases:
realname = self.acceptable_aliases[0]
else:
realname = self.getListAddress()
msg = Message.UserNotification(
self.GetMemberAdminEmail(name), self.GetRequestEmail(),
_('Welcome to the "%(realname)s" mailing list%(digmode)s'),
text, pluser)
