hello.

let me try to explain =). first, this is what i've got...
verizon dsl
gentoo 1.4
postfix 2.0.11
majordomo 1.94.5
mailman 2.1.3

now, from settign up a mailserver at work (also on verizon) i've come to realize that many mail servers will reject mail from dynamic ip blocks because they consider that it might be spam. so i've setup my mailserver to relay outgoing mail through verizon's mailserver via sasl-auth and the postfix main.cf setting 'relayhost = outgoing.verizon.net'. and all is well in the world...

i set up mailman, get it running alright, but i'm having alot of issues because my http server is not on port 80 (verizon blocks 80). i'm not impressed with needing a password to unsubscribe, i'm not impressed with the user interface, i'm not impressed with the mail archival system. basically, if i was running a sourceforge.net it would be great, but for a couple-three mail lists it's not for me. so i go to work getting majordomo up...

i set up majordomo and it seems to be going alright. i bypass the wrapper (one less suid running) and everything seems to be right with the world...

until...

i have 2 email addresses from verizon.net on 2 seperate accounts. one is the account used at work, one is the account at home. my mail server at home, which authes under one of the accounts to relay mail though my isp, cannot send mail to my list when it's from my work's account.

work account = work@verizon.net
home account = home@verizon.net
mail list = list@mydomain.com

• 1) work@verizon.net sends mail to list@mydomain.com.
  2) list@mydomain.com processes mail and relays to list riciepients via home@verizon.net's account.
  3) verizon.net bounces mail saying home@verizon.net has no authority to send as work@verizon.net.
  4) all have no joy.

any ideas, fixes, comments?

Setup an account work@mydomain.com and use that to send things to your mailing list?

yes, i could do this. but then my list could never have anyone on it that uses a name@verizon.net mail address. how could i fix the problem so that anyone from verizon could join the list?
