When somebody sends an email to a mailinglist which they are not allowed to address as per the list settings, they should get an email back which tells them that and gives the contact information of a moderator.

When handling an email without subject, two issues occur:

• the email sent to the list members has no subject at all. Expected would be something like "Sender via Mailiinglist:
• the frontend view for this mail does not load at all

When an email is sent to list but also has other recipients in the "To"-field, the email-address shown in the mail overview might be one of the other recipients instead of the email-address belonging to the list.

Add a switch which allows to turn off fetching emails (can be used while performing maintenance)

Reply to header should be able to be set to "Sender + Mailinglist"

It should be possible to allow finer control of how it is handled when a reply-to header is set. Options should be:

• do not change reply to
• replace sender with the reply-to address
• add reply-to address to the already configured reply to for the mailbox
• only reply to the address given in reply-to header

Implement an option to not send the mails to whoever send it, even if they are in the recipient group.

Allow an email to be set as "welcome email", which then get's sent to all new members

When responding to a mail sent by mailiszt, the response should be sent to mailiszt first and then be distributed to the intended recipients from there.

Example:

• A, B, C are members of list L [email protected]
• E is not a member
• list L is configured to allow externals to adress the list
• when E sends a mail to the list, A, B and C will receive it
• if now A responds, the response should be sent to [email protected]. Mailiszt should then be able to recognize that this is a response to a mail sent by mailiszt.
• now mailiszt forwards the response from A to the members of the list B,C and E
• if now E again answers, the entire list is going to get the answer (not possible if setting the list in CC without setting reply-to header manually)

How to implement?

• using in-response to header fields etc. to identify the message which was responded to. Are these fields standardized? How do different email clients handle this?
• use plus addressing in the reply-to field [email protected]. Not supported by every provider/mail server software
• some header field which is guaranteed to be retained in an answer mail?
• Including an ID in the body or subject of the email (should always work)
