I'm stumped with this one and don't know if Sympa has the capability of doing
it. I have Sympa 5.3.3 running with the single domain listserver2.mbari.org
so that all the lists will be known as address@concealed. This is
actually running on a machine named tundra.shore.mbari.org. The
listserver2.mbari.org address is a CNAME for tundra.shore.mbari.org.
Everything seems to be working just fine.

But the "to" address in the messages is "address@concealed" which
will be confusing to anyone receiving the message. In the Lyris software
we're migrating from, I configured all the lists to have the "To" address be
the short description of the list so the software would rewrite it as
'Description <address@concealed>'. So most email clients would
simply display the list description in the "To" field.

Is there any way to do this in Sympa? My apologies if this question is
confusing; what
I'm trying to get away from is this:
To: address@concealed
and get to this:
To: Test Discussion List


Thanks!
