By "sending as ... list name" I'm assuming you mean the list is anonymous, i.e., General Options -> anonymous_list = Yes. The issue here is the CookHeaders.py handler saves the original From: or other sender for use by the Acknowledge.py handler in sending the 'ack', but for an anonymous lists, the Cleanse.py handler which removes all the sender information comes ahead of CookHeaders in the pipeline. I actually broke this inadvertently in Mailman 2.1.13, and now I'll have to figure out what to do about that. The issue is that for anonymous lists, Cleanse removes the From:, Reply-To: and Sender: headers from the post. This causes the get_sender() method used by CookHeaders to get the original sender to fall back to the Unix from (envelope sender). The issue is that in 2.1.13, I "improved" anonymizing by munging the Unix from in anonymized posts to the list address, so now CookHeaders fets the list address as the sender when saving the original sender, and since this is generally not a list member with 'ack' true, no ack is sent. I suppose the easiest fix is to have Cleanse rather than CookHeaders save the original sender. One could also reorder the pipeline to put Cleanse after CookHeaders, but I'm not sure at this point if there would be unintended consequences from that. I'll follow up with a patch when I work this out. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
