The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Philip Crandall" <address@concealed>]

Nick,
I believe the default is to hide that setting for all but listmasters.  I 
would venture a guess that's because it allows you to spoof the FROM header 
to 
anything you like, but someone else could probably provide a more definitive 
answer as to why that's the default.  You should be able to set access to the 
setting in ...bin/etc/edit_list.conf by adding a line like:

anonymous_sender                owner,privileged_owner          write

It's covered in the documentation at 
http://www.sympa.org/manual/list-creation#creating_and_editing_mailing_lists_using_the_web
 
under the "List Editing" section.

Philip

I can't find a reference to this in the online documentation, but list
owners on my installation of sympa don't seem to have access to the
setting for 'anonymous sender' - is this a control restricted only to
the site's listmaster, and not accessible to individual list owners?

If so, why?

Thanks,

Nick
