Thanks for the quick response, I'd tried that once before with no success
and I'm sure I tried Tmail before too, however I just gave it another try
and Tmail worked.

Unfortunately though, the problem "symptom" I was getting is still
persisting :)  I thought it was the "X-Authentication-Warning" that was the
cause.  What I would like is for the original sender of the message to be
listed as the sender and not "owner-listname".  Although the from header is
left intact, something, either majordomo or sendmail is setting a "sender"
header to be "owner-listname@...".  Does anyone know what I can edit to stop
this happening? I tried editing $mailer in majordomo.cf to not call sendmail
with -f\$sender but it didn't make any difference.  I also tried editing
$mail_prog, $mail_from and $mail_sender in majordomo.pl but again to no
avail.

Just out of interest, this list does it too (notice outlook has put that "on
behalf of" stuff in the auto generated "From" up on line 3 of my message)
the sender has been set to "cobalt-users-admin".

Thanks again,
             Andrew
