The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

I hadn't considered this when I first made the DMARC patch, but you're right.  The 'From' should also be munged when forwarding out messages to ${list}-owner as they could be external.  Hopefully this won't be too hard as it is probably just duplicating the rewrite code currently in the distribution function into the-owner relay function...

Subject: Re: [sympa-users] DMARC and -owner mail

If an end-user with an AOL or Yahoo account wants to write to the administrators of the list "address@concealed" they write to "address@concealed" - the mail is then delivered to the listed owners of the list. If those owners have accounts at sites that use DMARC, the policy is applied to the From: address - which is @aol.com or @yahoo.com but is NOT delivered from a valid server for those domains, and the mail to the list-owners is rejected. This keeps users from being able to contact owners off-list unless they make their direct email addresses known to the subscribers, which most of our list-owner prefer not to do.
