I have this problem all the time, particularly with people on big corporate
networks where the incoming address is something like [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and the outgoing address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
For my Majordomo lists, I make a parallel pseudo-list called <listname>-extra
to which people can subscribe their write-only addresses. It's not a real
list, mail to <listname>-extra is rejected, it's just added to the list of
files that majordomo uses to validate mail to the real list (just as
subscribers to <listname>-digest can post to listname.)
This is very easy to do with majordomo, and requires no code changes,
just one line in the list config file.
