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.
