I do not think this is broken. If the user is not in the_mailing_list

there is nothing to apply a message_footer or message_header to.

Hello,
I'm setting up a mailing list which get all the addresses from a SQL
database. A script is running every 24 hour to extract the e-mail
adresses to two files:
the_mailing_list
the_mailing_list.post
The first file contain the adresses of all who shall receive the mail
while the second file (.post) contain the email-adresses to all who
are allowed to post to the list.
But I noticed that if an email adresse is listed in the .post and not
in the list itself, the text defined by message_header and
message_footer is not applied to the messages. Any way to fix this?
Dan has a point, but I'm not clear about the problem.
Certainly, if the .post file is included in restrict_post, then
addresses in that list are allowed to post, and resulting messages will
have the message_header and message_footer applied, as well as
message_fronter, even though the posting user won't receive a copy of
the post.
Jørn, will you post the relevant sections of the_mailing_list.conf
please? That is, restrict_post, message_headers, message_footer, and (in
case that's what you meant) message_fronter. [message_headers adds
*headers* to the message: things like X-version $VERSION or x-unzub
information...the text at the top of each message is defined in
message_fronter]
...and I usually put the_mailing_list file name in restrict_post, so all
members of the list can post, and reserve the .post file for alternate
addresses (like a work email address) or folks who are temporarily
off-list, so they can post without receiving mail at the posting address.
Hope that helps.
Sean
