I have heard of this many times, and it involves setting the "envelope from" diferently of the "from". The only way I know is using Mutt, so the rest of us can not do the trick.
Else... does somebody know how to do it using Pine and postfix?
create a "Role" for suse-lists, add a "Set From" with your real name but some nonsense address (please really use an invalid toplevel domain, not just a made-up address, which actually may exists!), do not use the built-in smtp client, but let it use the sendmail binary. as long as your postfix allows your box (permit_mynetworks) this will just work. envelope is added by sendmail binary, From: header remains whatever you set it to. the mailing list software will strip all those funny X-X-Sender and other unwanted headers of pine.
I had already tried this. Postfix simply sets the "envelope-from" to the "From" address, and sending to the list fails. The trick is that emzlm checks the envelope-from header, not the from header for admission to the list. Mutt allows to set one independent of the other, and thus, set the "From" to be a false address, and the "Envelope-From" to be the real one. In Pine that is impossible. I can set my From to whatever I like (using Roles: I have a dozen of them), but the envelope from is copied from the from, and that is what postfix uses. It is not the first time we have commented this on a SuSE list. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
