I sent your answer to the list-editor who originally complained about
the From: field, and this is his reply:
I'll refrain from arguing with your point of view, but my
complaint still stands: I can't figure out how to simply
remove some of the junk mail from the list without people
thinking the mail came from me. I'd like the "approved" mail
to be distributed exactly as if the list were not edited. It
is clear that besides changing LISTSERV's default way of
doing things, new options could be introduced. It really
boils down to three questions: "which way is the best way to
do it most of the time?", "how important are the
alternatives?", and "do you want to further complicate
LISTSERV with these alternatives?". As a list owner, I want
lots of control over the outgoing headers.
