[Hidden-tech] List changes

[hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net]

There is a setting, at least with Mailman >= 2.1.16, where the From: header is
hacked to be something like '"Personal Name via List Name
<list-name at list-domain>' and the Reply-To: header containing the poster's name
and address. Reply-All goes to all of From:+To:+Cc:, and Reply-to-Sender goes
to the Reply-To: address. This allows off-list replies with out having to
"manually" hack the To: header (eg copying-and-pasting the address from
elsewhere in the message, like the sig or something). That is how I have set
up the lists at Deepwoods Software (mailman.deepsoft.com) and I set this up
some time ago, since having the From: be something other than the list is a
failure for Yahoo and Microsoft based mail servers (Yahoo now serves aol.com
and netscape.com, and Microsoft serves hotmail.com, outlook.com, live.com). A
list serve *cannot* now handle posts from these addressses without mangling
the From: header -- Yahoo and Microsoft now reject messages with From: headers
with their domains thst don't directly originate from their servers. 

Also this setting allows at the human readable part of the From: header to 
contain the *name* of the poster and not something "anonymous" like just the 
list name.
