The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Stefan Burghart" <address@concealed>]

hello again,

to temporarily solve the problem, i explored the List.pm module for 
"-request" entries.

i found these lines:

    # . used only for the welcome message, could be usefull in other case ?
    # . a list should have several certificats and use if possible a 
certificat
    #   issued by the same CA as the receipient CA if it exists
    if ($sign_mode eq 'smime') {
        $data->{'fromlist'} = "$name\@$data->{'list'}{'host'}";
        $data->{'replyto'} = "$name"."-request\@$data->{'list'}{'host'}";
    }else{
        $data->{'fromlist'} = "$name"."-request\@$data->{'list'}{'host'}";
    }

i just deleted both "-request" strings and suddenly the notification mail 
comes from "listname@" and not from "listname-request@" any more. i just hope 
this solution doesnt influence sympa in any other way. i have no clue if 
there are any dependencies which relate to these lines of code. at least  the 
developer wrote "used only for the welcome message".

but if somebody has a better solution for me, then please let me know. isn´t 
it possible to include an option for easily switching the reply header of the 
notification mails? i mean, i can truly understand why people dont care much 
and just add the "listname-request" address to their address book and then 
always send their discussion mails to the list owner instead.

so, thanks for any improving suggestions
greetings
Stefan Burghart

hello everybody,

i got one question: since we went productive with sympa 5.2, our list owners 
claim that if they import new subscribers, those people always answer to the 
notification mail. means they like to send their mails to 
"listname-REQUEST@..." instead of send their stuff to the real list, e.g. 
listname@...

unfortunately the list owners stand behind the return path. we also can not 
disable the notification! so if somebody answers right to the notification 
our list-owners get all the messages.
is there any possible way to force all subscribers not to answer the 
notification, but send mails to the actual listname??? maybe we made a 
mistake when configuring sympa?!

i appreciate any help!
thank you folks.

greetings
Stefan Burghart
