The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Kurt Stas" <address@concealed>]

The main reason is that when the option is used users that will receive the e-mail will only see the address. For example if you would like to send an information message to anyone on the list it will show address@concealed it will not show a name like ‘Info’. We don’t want to show the name that sent the e-mail we want also to anonymize the name. In practice: if you sent an e-mail from s.shipway@xxx normally it shows ‘From: Steve Shipway [s.shipway@xxx]’. Using the anynomous_sender option it will only show ‘address@concealede’. There is no option to set ‘Info’ so that it would show ‘From: Info [address@concealede]’

The whole point of the anonymous option is to completely hide the identity of the sender... so showing their name would be counter-productive, I think.

However, if all you want to do is to hide the sender's email address but show their name, then you might be able to use the new DMARC-protection option in the new 6.1.22 release to achieve this.  If you set it to dmarc_protection_mode=all (so that it applies to all emails to the list), then set dmarc_protection_phrase=display_name (so the sender display name is preserved), and finally put the anonymiser email address in dmarc_protection_other_email (so this is the email address used to replace the original sender's address), then you should find that all emails to this list end up with the original display name but the anonymised sender email.

Hi,

 

I’ve set the anonymous_sender field option in our mailinglist. However the consequence is that an emailaddress is showing and not a name. Is it possible to add a name that must be shown?

 

For example: Admin (e-mail)?

 

Kind regards,
