Topic: mlmmj From address needs to be the list

To avoid breaking SPF alignment, the from address of emails sent to an iredmail pro hosted elist needs to be the list address (otherwise SPF doesn't align and we end up with spf softfail at best and dmarc reject at worst).

So how would I set the From address to always be the list email and the "reply-to" to then be the original sender?

thanks!

Re: mlmmj From address needs to be the list

Does your mlmmj mailing list rewrites the 'Reply-To:' header? You can define it in file /var/vmail/mlmmj/<domain>/<list>/control/replyto (or customize it in "customheaders").

I can successfully set the Reply-To header. And it's the From address that I want to set to the mailing list address.

thanks

I don't think you need to change the From: header, since To/Reply-To is the mailing list address, when MUA replies the message it uses Reply-To first, or To: if `Reply-To:` is not present.

Re: mlmmj From address needs to be the list

I'm finding two versions of mlmmj out there. The current one linked from their website, and another code base on gitlab (maybe some code changes there never made it in?)

https://gitlab.com/mlmmj/mlmmj

He says it's already in the code... darned if I can find it, though.

And it would appear that whoever wrote that posted on another topic on this forum...

As there's no contact info available to me, perhaps you as the forum admin would be willing to reach out to find out what happened to the mungefrom code.

thanks!
