I know Terry's KMail is normally the fount of all kproblems, but this time it's the list's configuration for coping with the DMARC configuration of your sending domain, and presumably Tim's too. http://www.list.org/mailman-admin/sender-filters.html describes dmarc_moderation_action that the Dorset list has set to `Munge From'. $ dig +short _dmarc.talktalk.net. txt "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; fo=1; rua=mailto:4lqga...@ag.dmarcian.com; ruf=mailto:4lqga...@fr.dmarcian.com;"; Some anti-spam measures were invented without regard for a mailing list's requirement to re-send on the email. Thus the LUG's mailman can't impersonate you and must instead pass on your email in some other way. https://wiki.list.org/DEV/DMARC describes why and the options. Yes, this means Terry must check where his emails are going, but then that's a good habit to get into on every email, and the MUA should make it obvious and easy to edit. ;-) Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting at *new* venue: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2018-10-02 20:00 Check if you're replying to the list or the author Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
