I've done that before, but it confuses the less technically savvy recipients, as to why *they're* receiving a message addressed to someone else. The simplest solution for that sort of thing, that makes sense to most other people on the internet, is to address it to a list address that they'll recognise. e.g. If you had a list about reading books, the list might have an address like: "members of the book club" <the-book-club@xxxxxxxxxxx> And you'd send out your mail to your members, addressed TO the list, with the members CC'd, or BCC'd (BCCing is better if you want membership anonymity, and minimising the chance of spammers harvesting addresses from compromised machines, or from forwarded mail). It also gives the slightly clueful, but not quite enough, a simple way to whitelist messages, if they use a simple sort of filtering. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
