Hi Matt,


Steve got back to me with what probably should've gone to the list:

"Yes, they go in the list config file, but without the = sign (I only put that there to show the valudes, not as a config file snippet, but it was a bit unclear)"

I.e. yes, this goes per list.


Which Sympa version does this come with, since my instance complained about unknown parameters?


Cheers,

Stefan

I know of the anonymous_sender field. Whilst that wipes & rewrites the
entire "From" field, I'd like a functionality where it retains the
sender's name but hides/replaces his email address. In a closed list
(which is what I am running), I'd live to lookup the sender's name in
the DB's subscriber_table and distribute the message to the list from
"Original Sender name <anonymous_sender email address>".
This is roughly what the DMARC Protection does -- replaces the email
address but keeps the name, in order to avoid DMARC issues.  The
anonymous list options conceal the display name as well.

 You should be able to configure DMARC protection on the list, with a
dmarc_protection=all  (so that it matches everything).  Set
dmarc_protection_phrase=display_name to preserve the display name, and
dmarc_protection_other_email to be whatever you want the email address
to show as (e.g. the list address).

So, try this:

dmarc_protection = all
dmarc_protection_phrase = display_name
dmarc_protection_other_email = anonymous_sender@my_server_domain
We recently had a list admin ask for this feature as well and I also
thought of the DMARC stuff as being close to what we want. But can you
set DMARC settings per list?
