[Mailman-Users] Yahoo Groups' From munging and X-Original-From

[Mark Rousell]

What do you think of Yahoo Groups' From munging style and their
X-Original-From header?

Here is an example:

X-Original-From: Mark Rousell <markr at signal100.com>
From: "Mark Rousell markr at signal100.com [some-mail-list]"
	<some-mail-list at yahoogroups.com>


I feel this is one of the better combinations of munging and new
headers. All the information is there (and is very clear) and the
X-Original-From header could (in due course) be recognised by mail
clients and mailing list archive software.

I realise that this falls foul of
http://www.dmarc.org/supplemental/mailman-project-mlm-dmarc-reqs.html
and yet it does seem to offer many benefits, especially the
X-Original-From header and the promise it holds for automated recognition.

It is also possible to add X-Original-From to the .INVALID/.REMOVEME
munging that some prefer too:

X-Original-From: Mark Rousell <markr at p-reject-domain.com>
From: "Mark Rousell [via some-mail-list]"
	<markr at p-reject-domain.com.REMOVEME>



Any thoughts?
