Hello Everyone,
Are there any Mailman experts here?
The way I use my email addresses is that I have an email address provided by
my ISP (Robert.jarratt(a)ntlworld.com <mailto:Robert.jarratt@ntlworld.com> ),
but I use an email forwarding service to forward rob(a)jarratt.me.uk
<mailto:rob@jarratt.me.uk> to my ISP mailbox. This means that I can receive
email sent to rob(a)jarratt.me.uk <mailto:rob@jarratt.me.uk> , but any email I
send comes from Robert.jarratt(a)ntlworld.com
<mailto:Robert.jarratt@ntlworld.com> . I do put rob(a)jarratt.me.uk
<mailto:rob@jarratt.me.uk> in the reply-to. Can Mailman be configured to
accept emails from my outbound address, but send them to my forwarding
address? I would like to do this for my subscription to the HECnet list, if
possible. If I can't then so be it, but I thought it worth asking.
Thanks
Rob

I've never seen any facility in either Mailman2 or Mailman3 to do
that. It's really the job of the MTA at your ISP to rewrite sender
addresses.
Mailman does have acceptance filters so it can accept messages from
other-than-subscribed addresses, but that's as close as I've seen to
what you're looking for.

Subscribe both addresses. Set one of the subscriptions nomail. Both
will be able to post, but you'll get only one copy of list mail.

That was Johnny's suggestion too and it was going to be my plan if there was
no other way to do it. However, thinking about it, I don't think there is
much point since if I have my ISP address anyway for posting then I might as
well use it to receive too.
Thanks
Rob

It just means that if your ISP address changes, you don't lose list
traffic until you remember to fix your subscription. That may not be of
much value to you.
