Why involve mailman? Why not use either the alias feature or the address rewriting feature of your MTA? But don't you have a larger problem? If the user is still using his old address and thus receiving mail at his old address and you change his address to the new domain when mailman sends the mail to the list then how is somebody going to respond to that user? It's going to go to the new address right where he won't see it (or were you planning on aliasing these as well?). -- John Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
