The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

I have just tested this (with v6.1.19) and you can set the anonymous_sender option to include the phrase as well as just the email address.

 

For example,

 

anonymous_sender = Steve Shipway <address@concealed>

 

As far as I can tell, the anonymous_sender value is only used to replace the From header, and has no format checking,  and therefore can be anything compliant with the RFC822 From header definition.

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]’
