Hi Stephen,
You’re right. AOL does not accept these messages with ‘invalid’ at the end.
You’re recommending this:
name, addr = parseadder(msg.get('from'))
if addr.endswith('aol.com') or addr.endswith('yahoo.com'):
# I forget what happens if it's a bare address
name = "%s (%s) via list" % (name if name else "Anonymous", addr)
addr = <list-post address>
del msg['from’]
msg['from'] = formataddr((name, addrs))
Can I copy this code directly into the file?
Is <list-post address> valid syntax? (I have 40+ lists)
Yours,
Allan
