As I understand it, using an SQL back end requires me to use the "alias" feature to create a listserv. However, the resulting alias does not behave exactly like a listserv.
I created alias myalias@mydomain.com.
I set display name as "My Forum".
I set it to accept mail from users under domain mydomain.com.
I send mail to the alias address from user1@mydomain.com.
The message arrives with no indication of "My Forum" in the Subject line.
If I choose Reply to the message in Thunderbird, the reply will be sent to user1@mydomain.com, NOT myalias@mydomain.com.
If I choose Reply All to the message, the message will be sent to user1@mydomain.com, and CC to myalias@mydomain.com, meaning the sender will receive the reply twice.
I want this to work the same as a Mailman listserv. That is,
1. When I send email to the list address, I want the server to automatically insert [My Forum] in the subject line.
2. When I choose Reply (not Reply All) to a message that came from the list, I want the automatically-selected Reply-to address to be the list address, that is, myalias@mydomain.com.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.
