It is clear how sympa works, and i've seend the S/MIME auth method.
Very cool.
I'm simply talking about a more ``smarter'' sender identification
algorithm, because i don't need the S/MIME (is too much for me), but i
will appreciate a better sender identification.

Sympa simply consider from, so the sender is what written in From:
  header, easyly forged.

Smartlist do more accurate header scanning, and the sender is 99.9% the
  real sender of the email.


I'm simply asking if someone have noted this before, and if someone
have tried to port the ``smarter'' sender identification algorithm of
smartlist to sympa.

The algorithm works with:

  :0
  * 9876543210^0 foreign_submit ?? y
  * 2^0 ? formail -X"From " -xFrom: -xReply-To: -xSender: -xResent-From: \
           -xResent-Reply-To: -xResent-Sender: -xReturn-Path: | \
           multigram -b1 -m -l$submit_threshold -L$domain \
            -x$listaddr -x$listreq accept accept2
   {


so the smartness are all into the multigram binary (i suppose you know
a little procmail).


I hope that now i'm clear.
