Developers of Sympa

[Petr Prazak <address@concealed>]

Hello sympa-dev,

Is it possible to add the "Sender:" field to a message which is resent
by the Sympa ?

According to RFC2822:

   The originator fields indicate the mailbox(es) of the source of the
   message.  The "From:" field specifies the author(s) of the message,
   that is, the mailbox(es) of the person(s) or system(s) responsible
   for the writing of the message.  The "Sender:" field specifies the
   mailbox of the agent responsible for the actual transmission of the
   message.  For example, if a secretary were to send a message for
   another person, the mailbox of the secretary would appear in the
   "Sender:" field and the mailbox of the actual author would appear in
   the "From:" field.  If the originator of the message can be indicated
   by a single mailbox and the author and transmitter are identical, the
   "Sender:" field SHOULD NOT be used.  Otherwise, both fields SHOULD
   appear.

Usually From: contains the original author of a message, but the
message is sent by Sympa. Therefore I think the message should contain
the Sender: field pointing to the list owner alias.

Then maybe autorepeaters that send back to original author would send
their messages to the Sympa.

(I had to switch reply-to from "list" back to "sender" due these dumb
autorepeaters.).

I hope it doesn't sound too much confusing :)
