[Pkg-sympa-devel] Bug#787946: wwsympa: Please add the possibility to configure the Return-Path for subscribe/requestpasswd notices

[Guilhem Moulin]

Package: sympa
Version: 6.1.23~dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

When subscribing to a mailing list using wwsympa, the subscriber
receives an email From: <sympa@$robot> with Return-Path:
<sympa-request@$robot> with instructions how to finalize the
subscription.  The From and Return-Path fields are currently hardcoded.

sympa-request@$robot aliases to postmaster as per [0].  Hence for each
invalid address submitted to the HTML form, postmaster receives a
non-delivery notice.  I see little reason to set the Return-Path to
<sympa-request@$robot>; it would be great if one could choose their own
Return-Path address in the template file, for instance.  Unfortunately
setting it to a noreply address in the template file ‘sendpasswd.tt2’
doesn't work at the moment.

Cheers,
-- 
Guilhem.
