Is this header:
Sender: [sender address here]
and is it in any of the RFCs? I am thinking of adding it. It seems to
be clueful.
We use post.office for our lists, and sender is not included out of
the box. It does allow you to remove any headers you wish, and add
any.
We want responses to default to the list, so we remove any reply-to:
address and then add our own reply-to: that points back to the list
address.
The envelope from: points to our request address
(listname-request@ourdomain.com).
I have suggested to listmembers that mail be filtered on the reply-to,
since we KNOW that posted listmail cannot escape without that.
Every once in a while, when we want people to request things, such as
videotape copies or tickets to list functions, we temporarily alter
the reply-to address long enough to post our request, and then change
it back.
