Strange new behaviour of the mailing list
Hi all, I noticed that beginning July 27th, the messages distributed by the ConTeXt mailing list appear to be from Mailing list for ConTeXt users without the actual name of the sender appearing. It may be dependent on the mail client I am using (Mail.app on MacOS 11.4), but I wonder whether something has changed on mailing list server, and whether if there is something I can do to have the old behaviour (which was convenient when one wanted to follow up mails from some specific contributors). Also has anybody else noticed this change? Thanks in advance for any hint. Best regards: Otared

I see the same thing, also on Macos. Looking at an older message, I see that the Reply-To: header has changed from

If you click on that name, you can see the actual address. Hraban
I think so too. Especially since the original sender's address isn't included in "reply to all" messages.

I read some lists (not this one) through game's nntp interface. So it's nice being notified if someone responds to your message. Also, I do t think I've ever received duplicate mails so I guess they are filtered out somehow. I think some lists do that automatically...

Sure, but I don’t understand why the behaviour has changed. It seems to me a regression…

So I suggest that there is little you can do as it appears to be a configuration change on the mailing list server; and Apple Mail doesn't have the facilities to easily allow you to re-write that header
Hi Bruce, Thanks for your reply. I don’t know what has triggered this change, which seems to me strange and inconvenient. Best regards: Otared

Ah, I didn’t recognize you mean this. Since the mail goes through the mailing list software, the sender must not be the original sender any more – ntg.nl is not allowed to send emails for a different domain. Many securely configured mail servers reject “faked” sender addresses, as they should. Look up DANE etc. Hraban

Which is exactly why that setting was changed. So yes, the change is on purpose. Best wishes, Taco — Taco Hoekwater E: taco@bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)
