[Mailman-Users] Change Name In Posts

2005-07-14 Thread [ Dhruv ]
Hi
Im using mailman for my mailing list , lets say the list is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would like to have the From address for posters so that it goes as ::

From: Dhruv [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What i want to do is ensure that people know the name of the poster but not 
the mail id.

I can manage to setup so that it defaults to showing Games 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as the from address but that doesnt solve the purpose

I dont know how to do this, but im pretty sure ive seen it done before.

If anyone has a clue, please drop it in !

Thanks

Dhruv

I don't know of a way to do this with Mailman out of the box.

However, if you think of Mailman as a mailing list construction set, you 
could build a custom pipeline stage that did it.  (Steal some of the 
code from the Cleanse.py pipeline stage's anonomizing section, but pull 
the name from the From: header before deleting the original one.)

Each list can have its own custom pipeline.  Use bin/withlist to add a 
.pipeline object based on the mm_cfg.GLOBAL_PIPELINE, but with your new
stage just before Cleanse.

(More details on the custom pipeline technique are in the list archives.)
