Hi! I want to use Mailman in a "posting-only" setup with a few hundred users. Setup so far with mailman 2.1.6 on a Debian-Exim System went smooth so far.
What I want now is that only one single user is allowed to post to the list, all other users may only read what's posted. I can achieve this via setting all but one member to "moderated". This one member can then post to the list, and the list would use his email adress as the mailinglist adress. The problem with this is that every user can now send mails to the list by just faking the "From" Adress with that one posting user. The only way to bypass this seems to either: 1.) Enable global moderation. That is a bit cumbersome since I have to visit the admin panel each time I post a message. But then I can control that no other user abuses the mail adress to post. 2.) "Obfuscate" the posting user mail adress, so that users only see "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" instead of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Since nobody sees/knows this mail adress, this is fairly safe. However the drawback is that all mails are now sent with the mail adress of the list: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Now I want to use method 2) but I also want that the From: Field looks like: From: "My personal newsletter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The problem is I cannot get a way to pass this "My personal newsletter" string into the headers. There seems to be no configuration directive for this field, and it is always autogenerated via "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]". Which core Python file would I need to hack to inject this descriptive string? Or is there some other way to set an explicit "From" adress, so that I can enter '"My Personal Newsletter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' somewher in the interface? Many thanks in advance, Garvin. -- Garvin Hicking Web-Entwickler Faktor E Multimedia GmbH | www.faktor-e.de ------------------------------------------------------ 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
