A Bcc: is usually a feature of an MUA to allow setting an envelope recipient address that doesn't appear in a message header. By the time the message gets to a Mailman list, Mailman has no idea how or why it got there. Mailman only knows that the list address is or is not in a To: or Cc: header of the message that arrived. If the list is set to require_explicit_destination, all Mailman will do is check that the list address or an acceptable_aliases address appears in To: or Cc: and if not, hold the message. If the message is subsequently approved, it is delivered, but nothing is rewritten in To: or Cc: If your intent is to have messages sent to the list members of multiple lists with only the address of their list in To: or Cc: in order to reduce or eliminate cross posting of replies or hide the other list addresses, you have two choices: 1) send separate messages individually to the lists. 2) enable Full Personalization for the lists and send one message To: (not Cc:) all lists. Then delivered messages will be To: the recipient and will have the address of the list they come from added to Cc: to facilitate replies. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
