Thanks for your reply, sorry if I was not clear, I'm specifically trying to not have the list address in the from address, nor the original sender's address
say my list is party-news at lists.sample.org and the mail comes from user sam at lists.sample.org, i'd like the From: field to be "Party News <partynews at sample.org>" instead of the list address or sam at lists.sample.org.

I tried anonymous_list, but that's not what I'm looking for.

I have a list that is used as announce-only and would like it to appear to come from a non-list address (e.g., list is jobs at lists.domain.tld and I would like the email to appear as from jobs at domain.tld). Reply-To: is good, but not what I'm looking for. The ezmlm analogue is creating a list using the -3 switch to rewrite the address.


I'm not sure what you're asking. If you want to know how to put the
list address in From:, set General Options->anonymous_list to Yes.

If you want to know how to change the domain of this address, put the
desired domain in General Options->host_name.
