[Mailman-Users] Reply-To Munging - Feature Request

[Dave Nathanson]

I appreciate that the MailMan team is awesome & doing the best that can be expected given the new DMARC restrictions being forced on us all. Thanks guys! 

FEATURE REQUEST: 
A setting to configure the new "From" line. Instead of 
FROM: Author_Name via ListName <ListName at lists.example.com>

I want to request that MailMan let the list admin config the text after the author's name in the FROM line. I would use this setting to say:
FROM: Author_Name via Club Name <ListName at example.com>   
 * substituted test string "Club Name" for "List Name"
 * substituted explicit reply_to_address instead of list address. 

More details: 

DreamHost just installed 2.1.17 so that's what I have to work with. I don't know why they didn't go all the way to the newest version this week. 

My email lists are served from a sub-domain that I don't use for anything except lists. lists.example.com That is a given, not my option. 

I have things figured out as well as can be for my situation. 
The settings we are going to use are:
   reply_goes_to_list = Explicit address
   reply_to_address = everybody at example.com  (as opposed to everybody at lists.example.com )
   from_is_list  = Mung From
   first_strip_reply_to  = Yes

The only difference is from_is_list = Mung From. The other settings are the same as before DEMARC. 

This makes it almost as good as before Yahoo ruined all mailing lists worldwide. 


Differences before & After DEMARC
BEFORE:
FROM: Author_Name <Author at example.com>
TO: ListName <everybody at example.com>
REPLY-TO: ListName <everybody at example.com>

We liked it like that. Everything was fine. 

AFTER DEMARC, using the best settings for us that we can:

FROM: Author_Name via ListName <everybody at lists.example.com>
TO: ListName <everybody at example.com>
REPLY-TO: ListName <everybody at example.com>

This is *pretty good* except that 
* I don't like the "via list name" in the from header, even though I understand that is the new reality. 
* I don't like the lack of an author email address. 

I also tried: 
first_strip_reply_to  = No
But that means a normal reply will go to both the list & the author. So the author will get 2 copies, and I don't feel that is desirable, even though it seems to be the only way to include the author's email address. 

FEATURE REQUEST: 
A setting to control the new "From" line. Instead of FROM: Author_Name via ListName <everybody at lists.example.com>
I want to request that it offer the option to let the list admin config what goes there after the author's name. I would use this setting to say:
FROM: Author_Name via Club Name <everybody at example.com>   
  substituted "Club Name" for "List Name", and used 
  explicit reply_to_address instead of list address. 

Best,
