Hello list managers,

emails (e.g. TO: user@anywhere) are often locally forwarded to alias
adresses, (e.g. firstname.lastname@anywhere). This causes problems, when
a user wants to contribute to a private list and the subscribed adress
is not equal to the sender adress.

How can I handle this situation? Is this a subject to list configuration
or policy? I want to avoid contacting the single user, for most of them
don't know about internal aliases. I do manage two lists (with Majordomo
and Listserv), but I am not a programmer.

Thank you very much in advance.

Michael Brach
