Hi,
I receive my mailing list messages on a dedicated address which
currently ends up in the same mailbox as my usual e-mail. Hence, I
have to change the From: of mailing list messages I write to the
address that I am subscribed with.
When I use my normal setup, the MUA delivers the messages to the MTA
via SMTP. This works flawlessly. However, when I use a UNIX MUA like
mutt that way (which presumably delivers messages directly by calling
exim or /bin/mail), a Sender: header is added which in turn causes
some mailing list managers (this happened in fact on this mailing
liste ;-) ) to reject my message because they honor Sender: instead of
From: for sender verification. An example:
|Return-path: <mh@???>
|Envelope-to: mh@???
|Delivery-date: Wed, 08 Dec 1999 14:50:34 +0100
|Received: from mh by q.bofh.de with local (Exim 3.11 #1)
| id 11vhUI-0002YA-00
| for mh@???; Wed, 08 Dec 1999 14:50:34 +0100
|Date: Wed, 8 Dec 1999 14:50:34 +0100
|From: Marc Haber <usenet-9947@???>
|To: Marc Haber <mh@???>
|Subject: bla
|Message-ID: <19991208145033.A9764@???>
|Mime-Version: 1.0
|Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
|X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.3i
|Sender: "Marc Haber,,," <mh@???>
|X-UIDL: ecd07246de90e2060cdb870852575f0c

Since this could apply to other users of my system as well, I would
prefer not having to add them all to the list of trusted users.
Greetings
Marc
