Re: Changing the "<listname>-bounces" address

[Cox, Chris]

Hello Mark
I have been asked to change the senders address to list-mails rather
than list-bounces.
Did you try this sort of change already, and was it successful ?

I have never done this because I don't have PHBs asking (telling) me to
do nonsense.

You can change the list-bounces address to list-mails or anything else
you want. This involves either changing the list methods
getListAddress() and GetBouncesEmail() in Mailman/MailList.py and
maybe the function get_site_email() in Mailman/Utils.py or some other
way of accomplishing the same thing, and changing list aliases or
whatever your MTA uses to deliver to Mailman to deliver list-mails
mail to the wrapper with arguments 'bounces list'.

Since I've never done it, I don't know if the above is a complete list
or not.

C'mon, Mark, you know it's not nonsense in organizations that use
Outlook.  The "on behalf of" thing is a plausible way to deal with
Sender.  (Since Outlook is a Microsoft product, I'm sure the deciding
factor in implementation was to be perverse and screw up anybody who's
sane.  Still, it's plausible, no?)

OK. I guess I was not in the proper frame of mind when I wrote that. It
was a hectic day. Probably I was thinking more about Outlook than the
request when I wrote "nonsense".
