Title: How can I post to my class list from a different email address?
Question: I have created a class Mailman list for a course that I teach.
The owner email address is my @u.washington.edu address but that is not
the address I usually send email from. Mailman won't let me add my other
address as an owner so how do I post to my list from a different address?
Answer:
Mailman actually does not take into consideration the owner email address
when deciding who to allow to post. Mailman looks at current subscriber
moderation settings as well as the Sender Filters settings.
The class Mailman lists work with UW NetIDs so your @u.washington.edu
address will be the address that is subscribed to the list. If you would
like to post from a different email address, log on to the admin pages for
the list at
https://mailman.u.washington.edu/mailman/admin/listname
(where "listname" is replaced with the name of your list). Then follow the
links to Privacy Options -> Sender Filters. Add your preferred email
address to the "accept these nonmembers" setting and submit your changes.
You will then be allowed to post from that address.
