First, please see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/RoA9>. Hopefully, this will explain what MS Outlook is actually displaying as the From: of the message. T answer your question, no there is not, at least not as a standard configuration. This could be done by setting the Sender: to listn...@mymanserver.com instead of listname-boun...@mymanserver.com, but this would not be desirable as it could result in bounces being returned to the list instead of to bounce processing. > We are using a 3rd-party SMTP relay for all outbound mail, so we need > to approve all senders for the service to allow the email to go > through. Are you sure the relay is not looking at the envelope sender rather than any From: or Sender: header in the message. I would expect that it is, in which case, the addresses you need to 'whitelist' are the listname-boun...@mymanserver.com addresses regardless of any From: in the message. > This poses a problem with the dozens of mailing lists we host, since > it is not practical to approve hundreds (if not thousands) of > members. > > So what we are doing is configuring the mailman lists to "Hide the > sender of a message, replacing it with the list address (Removes > From, Sender and Reply-To fields) ", setting it to "Yes". > > So now all members of the list will see posts as: > > "From: listn...@mymailmanserver.com" > > Instead of the address of the poster. > > This is actually a good thing for us, and we actually prefer this > behavior to ensure that discussions will stay on the lists, but also > this solves the problem of the SMTP relay service, since now we only > need to approve the wildcard for "*@mymailmanserver.com" so the > service will relay the email.

Try setting anonymous_list back to No, and if you want to "ensure that discussions will stay on the lists", set reply_goes_to_list to This list. I suspect that together with whitelisting "*@mymailmanserver.com" will do what you want. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
