[BlueOnyx:19287] Re: BlueOnyx list and DMARC

[Jim Matysek]

Yes, you've said that before in terms of any development on BlueOnyx. 
However, his question is just about the list settings for this 
particular mailing list. I've found that the Mailman installation on BX 
does support munging the From address to get around the stupid DMARC 
settings. All that is needed is to go to the Mailman interface via the 
GUI and select "Munge From" in the following setting on the General 
Options page:

Replace the From: header address with the list's posting address to 
mitigate issues stemming from the original From: domain's DMARC or 
similar policies.
(Details for*from_is_list*)

That doesn't require any development and seems like a reasonable request 
to simply alter that setting so that email sent from any of the evil 
email "suppliers" gets through to this list. There are also similar 
settings in the Privacy Options... Sender filters page, but it seems 
that changing this one under General Options takes care of it without 
having to set the other ones.

Unfortunately my home network is through Verizon, and they just switched 
everyone over to using AOHell mail, so I'm now affected by this crap 
when using my home email address (which I rarely do). I hate that, but 
Verizon FIOS service is the best network service available around here - 
far fewer problems than we have with other companies used at work.
