Couldn't find anything in the documentation, even though this must surely be a commonplace situation. First of all, let me state my current understanding, based on information I've gleaned from this list in the past months. 1. Mail sent to an edited list is, I understand, forwarded to the first-listed editor for approval. Presumably there is some kind of preamble from listserv. 2. The editor then needs to resend this to listserv with the following changes (either using a mailer that does this automatically with a "resend" command, or otherwise manually): a. Strip off listserv's preamble b. Retain original sender's headers, including "From:" line, and add header "Resent-From: <editor's address>". Presumably the mailer will also add a "Sender:" line (is this used by listserv?). 3. Listserv validates the message by checking that either the "From:" or "Resent-From:" field contains the e-mail address of one of the editors OR one of the owners, and forwards the message to members of the list if it does. My questions are: 1. Is the above correct? Where can I find more complete documentation on how it works? 2. My organization's gateway will insist on rewriting "From:" lines to the actual sender (me, in this case), rather than putting it in the "Sender:" line. (The true "From:" line gets put into a header called "Original-From:".) Assume that, whether or not this is RFC822- compliant, I cannot change this or influence its change, since it is not my local mailer but the organization's gateway that's doing this. It would appear then, if my understanding of listserv's processing of approved messages is correct, that *every* message resent by me would appear to have been originated by me, which I obviously don't want. What I need is a mechanism that retains the original header information (in particular the "From:" line), by yet is immune to the kind of header-meddling that my gateway does. E.g., if the original message (header and all) were part of the *body* of the message sent to the editor, then the editor could mail it back, and a simple demarcation line before the start of the "real" message would allow listserv to strip off all the editor's headers (after authenticating it) and distribute the original sender's message with headers intact. I believe majordomo does something like this. Well, I got a little long-winded with the description of my problem, but the question is, "Given my environment, how can I be the editor of a list and have the original senders' addresses show up properly?"
