Public bug reported: Hey there,
I wanted to have a pseudo anonymous list. Meaning: The sender's e-mail address is rewritten to the list's address, but the name in "From:" is set to the member's name stored in the mailing list database. It's an extension to the "anonymous_list" feature. Let's say we have a list 'exlist' sending from "[email protected]" with a member "John Doe" writing from "[email protected]". If his name is set in the mailing list configuration, and "anonymous_list" as well as the "pseudo_anonymous_list" feature is turned on, the original "From:" in John Doe's messages is rewritten to "John Doe <[email protected]>". So his e-mail address stays private, but the message can be recognized easily as being from him. I don't know if that goes against any standards. Maybe it should be "John Doe via exlist <[email protected]>" to emphasize the it is a list message. Just a thought. I didn't find a configuration providing that feature in mailman -- hope I did not overlook anything. I attached a small patch based upon http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/revision/1436 I could take a shot at integrating it into the latest revision of the 2.1 branch if there is any interest in that feature. If you want to try the patch, you have to execute 'bin/withlist -r add_pseudo_anonymous_list -a' for old lists to have the new configuration value. I did not test the feature thoroughly, but it seems to work on my server.
