I didn't think it was convoluted (but then again I am a bit on the naive side).
Yahoo has been my main account for 20+ years. When I started using gmail (on a trial basis a year or so ago) I just set YAHOO to forward all mail. Of course that would not allow me to send to this list. To do that I needed to close the OpenSuse/Yahoo connection and open the connection to OpenSuse in gmail. Ergo, OpenSuse does not go through YAHOO, but is routed directly to gmail.
This Unknown User/No subject this is recent. I will go back and see when it started and update in another post.

It is happening on all my machines and mail clients, some are worse than others: LinuxBox: Kmail has the fewest T-Bird and Opera will connect (they did until this started happening) Firefox browser, the same "Unknown sender (no subject)

Some from OpenSuse come thru fine (like this thread) others do not... IT is hit and miss

This and the info suggests that client is probably not an issue nor is the list, but something that is on the route your mail is taking that is mangling headers for some unknown reason. I assume from the gmail yahoo thing that you have some sort of convoluted way of routing your mail from various locations but working out just which bit is causing the problem is likely to very time consuming.
I would suggest that you simplify things. One way would be to use fetchmail to pickup mail directly from your various mail accounts and deliver all this mail to a single local user location. This may even give you handle on just what is broken and where.

A brief comment that's off-topic for the thread, but very much on-topic with regard to the message itself: A great feature of KMail is its ability to automatically handle this situation properly. When I reply to a list message (like this one), the default is for it to reply to the list. If I reply to a non-list message, the default is for it to reply to the sender. Just sayin'... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

KMail also appears to have the ability to trim un-necessary quoting, "A Good Thing(tm)". And it didn't top-post. Another "A Good Thing(tm)". :^) -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
