The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Jeff Abbott <address@concealed>]

Folks,

Something that one of our users noticed in our migration away from  
Majordomo to Sympa is that Sympa doesn't appear to set a Sender  
header for messages going to the list.  Majordomo sends messages with  
a Sender header set to LISTNAME-owner@site (e.g. address@concealed,  
for a list named foo at our Majordomo site), which is also the  
envelope sender.  Does Sympa do this and I've simply overlooked  
something or haven't properly set something somewhere?  I believe  
that if it doesn't do it already this functionality should be added  
because, according to RFC 2822:

   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.

I view Sympa as the "secretary" in this case, sending out the message  
on behalf of the user who sent it to the list.  I'd be willing to try  
to throw something together to add a Sender header (which would be  
identical to the envelope sender) if there were any interest in this  
feature.

Thanks,
Jeff
