Hello Chad Jones. At 10:40 Uhr -0800 4.3.2008, you wrote:
I recently set up a moderated list with a "secret" email address
that only the approved people knew. Someone sent the same message
to that list and a non-moderated list. When the message came
through the moderated list, the secret address was hidden in the To:
line--the non-secret address was listed.
Here is the to: line:
To: "announcements" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
But subscribers to the non-moderated list had the secret address
show up in the To: line
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Well, if you put 2 recipients in the To:-field, normally both of
them see each other. The subscribers of the moderated list don't see
that address because of the Listserver's setup - Letterrip hides the
secret address for a moderated list. But why should it hide any
information in the message to a non-moderated list?
So now all of the people who are subscribed to a non-moderated list
know the posting address. I'm going to have to change the address
and tell people not to send to the moderated and non-moderated lists
in the same message.
You might well be advised to change that address - but how many of
the readers of the non-moderated list do know about the other
(moderated) list _and_ be smart enough to figure out that the posting
limitation is handled by setting up special mail addresses?
To me, it is more annoying that LetterRip does not strip out the
secret address sometimes when it is contained in a "secondary" header
line, like:
X-Original-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have so far not found out what settings of LetterRip would make
these lines to appear/disappear...
Christian.
