Usually the messages sent are from "name of subscriber via"[email protected]. (She gets the digest which I don't so not sure that is different). But when she forwards me one of these digest messages, it is from: "Listname <[email protected]> on behalf of [email protected] <[email protected]>"


This is a Microsoft mail client thing. Digests are sent From: [email protected] with envelope sender [email protected], and what you see is what the mail client chooses to show you in this case.


And instead of the usual [email protected] unsubscribe,archives,info link at the bottom of the message, it has ...

The digest footer can't contain any personalizations because digest can't be personalized, and is can't contain a link to the archived message because digests aren't archived (they contain messages which were archived, but the digest itself isn't)


One thing you can do is enable VERP. Assuming this in Mailman 2.1 since this list is for Mailman 2.1, you enable VERP by putting

VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1

in mm_cfg.py. This will change the envelope sender (the bounces address) from

[email protected]>

to

[email protected]>

where replacing the '=' in user=example.com gives the recipient's address.

The other thing you can do is just look at all the digest members of the list. If there aren't too many, you may be able to figure out which it is. use Mailman's

bin/list_members -d -f listname

to get a list of digest members with their 'real name' if available.

Otherwise, as you note, if you can get her to send you the raw message headers, you may be able to get the address from the Received: headers.
