If you set anonymous_list = Yes the post will be fully anonymized as before which includes setting the From: to the list address. Thus, setting anonymous_list = Yes obviates the need for From: header munging because you're already doing it. However, the statment "the anonymous_list and Reply-To: header munging settings below take priority." is probably not correct. It comes from 2.1.16 which was a bit different with respect to Reply-To:. In 2.1.18, with anonymous_list - Yes and from_is_list = No, From: will be "List's description <list posting address>" and there will be no Reply-To:. If from_is list is Munge (or Wrap) the (outer) From: will be "List's description via list's real_name <list posting address>" and the (outer) Reply-To will be "List's description <list posting address>" So the from_is_list options add 'via real_name' to the From: and add a redundant Reply-To: the list. from_is_list interacts with first_strip_reply_to and reply_goes_to_list in the way one intuitively expects. I.e. first_strip_reply_to and reply_goes_to_list behave as always and from_is_list just adds the posters From: to Reply-To: if it isn't there already (and in the case of an anonymous list, the poster's From: has already been set to the list. That text should probably be changed. I don't like to change strings that have already been translated and this one was for 2.1.16 for a few languages, but I should fix it. > If dmarc_moderation_action overrides from_is_list, as the doc for it > says it does, is it also overridden by Reply-To: header munging > settings? As I explained above, from_is_list works in all cases. And, the same is true for dmarc_moderation_action if it applies. > Also, in the doc for reply_goes_to_list, we see "When set to Poster [the > default], no Reply-To: header is added by Mailman". Does this mean that > this overrides from_is_list, which if set says that it causes the > original From header to be inserted into the Reply-To header? No. The poster's address will be added to Reply-To: in all cases where from_is_list or dmarc_moderation_action rewriting or wrapping is done. > I can probably figure this out, but it might be good to explain this a > bit more completely in the Mailman internal docs.
