Hi,

a colleague of mine has realized the same issue just a few days ago.
She is list owner for some lists, where she is not a member.

Here she realized, that she received mails to the list, that were obviously sent via "Reply-All" to the list. Here the mailclient sends not just to the list, but also to the "<list>-request@..." address.

google pointed me to bug report #7293, which helped me to understand the reason for this problem: The Sender header is added by sympa, and Outlook misunderstands this as a secretary scenario. See
https://sourcesup.renater.fr/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=7293&group_id=23&atid=167

I'm not yet sure, what to do:
- leave it as it is,
- add a "remove_outgoing_headers" sympa option
- patch List.pm as suggested by N. Matthies

Any suggestions?

O. Menkens.

This was different in Sympa version 5.4, see screenshot "Sympa54_vs_62":
lefthand side Sympa 5.4, righthand side Sympa 6.2.


The same effect can be seen in a mail to your list, see below:

(Von = From) <---------------------------

(im Auftrag von = at request of)

(Gesendet = Sent)

(An = To)

(Betreff = Subject)


Von: address@concealed
[address@concealed]&quot; im Auftrag von &quot;Chris Peck

[address@concealed]

Gesendet: Sonntag, 10. August 2014 22:08

An: address@concealed

Betreff: [sympa-users] list_check_smtp alternative


Is this a matter of configuration or a general change and unavoidable?
