The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Joan Combs Durso <address@concealed>]

It can be confusing.  Two kinds of emails come in showing that -request alias as sender sometimes, 1) a content message from the list to subscribers or 2) a request to editors to approve a mail to go out.   Of course, the body of the email reveals the difference, but scanning your incoming emails based on sender may not.  I've been specifically asked if it could be fixed, as well. Ideally,  it would only say -request for approvals. 

Safe and happier 2021 to all,

Joan

Hey All,

 

Is there a way to disable the “-request” alias. When an email gets sent through the list the from address shows

address@concealed <mailto:address@concealed>. I’d like it to show address@concealed

<mailto:address@concealed> if possible.

 

Thanks

Youcef

Hello Youcef,

as far as I can tell "-request" is only used in the Sender: header of the email. The From: header shows the author of
the email unless anonymous sender is enabled.

What's wrong with "-request" ?
