Hello all.  I am new here, but trying my best to learn as much as possible.  I 
searched far and wide through the Internet/FAQ and archives, but I think my 
question is rather unique.

 

My Setup:

Ubuntu 9.04 with newest Postfix and Dovcot running

 

The steps I took and have done are as follows:

 

1.     I have a list setup for a very small number of subscribers – 10 to 20 
max.

2.     The mailing list address is austra...@lists.seishinonline.jp (It’s for a 
group of people hosting some students from Austrailia)

3.     Only one or two addresses can post to the list.  All other mailings will 
be rejected.

4.     I have it setup to never show the “poster’s” address, instead using the 
mailing list address.

5.     In addition to number 4, I setup a special “reply-to” address where all 
replies should go to.

6.     Because the vast majority of the subscribers will be using their 
cell-phones’ built-in capability for e-mail, I found out step 5 actually won’t 
work for them. (Yay Japan…)

7.     Because of 6, I created a re-write rule in Postfix to force all the 
From: headers to be the “reply-to” address.

8.     The “reply-to” address is set to forward the e-mails to the original 
list “poster” inside of Postfix. 

 

 

Up to this point, everything works ok.  My question is:

After receiving a message through the “reply-to” address, I want the original 
poster to be able to send a single message back to the “replier,” possibly 
answering some question.  Problem: I can’t have the “poster” know the 
individual address of the “replier,” nor can I have the “replier” know the 
direct address of the “poster.”  Would it be possible to use some sort of 
sub-addressing, extended addressing, plus addressing, etc. to send a message to 
an individual subscriber based on a “subscriber” username or something?  For 
example sending to australia+kenyamagu...@lists.seishinonline.jp would cause 
the e-mail to only go to the subscriber associated with “KenYamaguchi” and NOT 
the whole list.  This way, neither side knows the other’s “direct mail 
address.” Is this possible?  Thanks in advance.
