I'm a member of the "Linux for blind general discussion" list ([email protected]), which uses
Mailman. Some time ago, the list was having problems with folks spamming members, using addresses harvested
from the "From" lines of messages. So, the list admins opted to change the "From" line
to simply say:
Linux for blind general discussion <[email protected]>
Although this solved the immediate problem, it also resulted in some confusion,
because all postings are now anonymous by default. Is there a configuration
option that would (say) result in a From line that only reveals the poster's
name, but not their email address?
Presumably, they did this by making the list anonymous. Rather than
doing that, the only other configuration is to set from_is_list to Munge
From. This will make the from look like
Jane Doe via Linux for blind general discussion <[email protected]>
but this won't totally hide the poster's address as the original from
will be placed in either CC or Reply-To depending on other settings.
Also, if the original from is just something like [email protected]
without a display name and that list member also has no real name
attribute on the list, the from will become
jdoe--- via Linux for blind general discussion <[email protected]>
I.e. it will include the poster's username, but not the email domain.
