I just discovered a new problem with majordomo owner list address ...
In DA, [email protected] is forwarded to owner-site address (mandatory, no choice).
This was just fine up to the moment some servers are testing the origin of email to decide if it is spam or not (with sender and/or return-path in smtp headers)
The way they do it is to send a request to the sender.
BUT in majordomo with DA, the return-path and Sender by default are [email protected] and, as this is an alias, it does not answer to anti-spam mechanism...
If you fill-in the field "reply-to" in DA panel, you will have a "reply-to" header added with the address you type in, but return-path and Sender are still owner-list
I don't know which policy I have to adopt.
-> I cannot ask users to change address because of email provider promoting anti-spam
-> I cannot change majordomo settings (As I am not sure that changes would not be wiped out by a next DA upgrade)
-> I cannot stay with some users of majordomo not receiving mails any longer
-> I cannot ask servers of customers to change the anti-spam scheme
None of these (solving the problem) is really very convenient.
Any suggestion ?
Maybe a change in the way majordomo is configured by DA would also solve the problem. If DA did not make a forwarder owner-list to owner-site but create a true pop3 owner-list, it should solve all the problems, even if the owner site has to create a new account in his email client.
By the way, this could solve another problem : very often in non-profit association, list owers are different persons ...
