Okay, it appears to be working now.

I enabled generics in sendmail.mc
FEATURE(`genericstable')dnl
GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/generics-domains')dnl
FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl

genericstable:
address@concealed  address@concealed

generic-domains:
lists.virtualdomain.net

Then restarted sendmail and it worked. (Well, this was after many failed experiments!)

Thanks -- I'm closer... It looks like I have to do something with Sendmail's generics table.
Does anyone have an example sendmail.mc and generics_domains I could copy?
In the generics table, is there some way to wild-card, or do I have to list each possible sympa "user"?

Hi --

I'm running Sympa v. 5.3.4. and Sendmail 8.13.8.

There is something slightly wrong with my configuration, and I'm not
quite sure where to fix it.

When users respond to the unsubscribe address, the confirmation email
they receive in return has the correct unsubscribe info in the body of
the message.  However, they cannot *reply* to the message (as is
suggested) because the From field is set to the canonical name of the
server.

For example, the correct email address would be

address@concealed

But the message is currently actually From

address@concealed

So, the user is unable to unsubscribe using Reply, which causes some
confusion.

Where do I need to set this so it uses the guestvirtualdomain.org
address as the From, rather than the canonical name?
  
    
The first think to do is to be sure that sendmail is not rewriting a
correct adress. You should try :

/usr/sbin/sendmail address@concealed -f
address@concealed" . This should be received with the
correct From:

If not  the problem is probably in Sendmail config.
Else it's a Sympa config issue. Check "email" and "host" parameter in
the ~sympa/etc/lists.guestvirtualdomain.org/robot.conf

email sympa
host lists.guestvirtualdomain.org

Serge
