I'm not sure what you mean by this. If I put anything other than the address I subscribed with in the From field, the list doesn't acknowledge it (it doesn't bounce back either since the From address is not a real address.
Please read what I said. The envelope From is used for authentication---that must be your subscription address but it doesn't show up anywhere in the archives. The header from (probably what you normally think of as the "From" address) can be anything, even blank.
I've tried using the address in a format such as below.

The envelope is set by your MTA, the header from is set by your mail client. If you are using one of those all-in-one mail clients that also have a minimal mta built in then I'm not sure what to tell you.

I'm not using any MTA such as sendmail, etc, I'm just using the mail client with the SMTP set to my ISP's SMTP server. So its a built-in mail client, similar to netscape. Regards, Tim Harrell <suse-ml@tharrell.com>
