I have a question. I am trying to create an experimental discussion
list. So far evrything is going alright except for one thing. When
the subscribers get the messages, the "From: " string is always the
same, i.e. the list's address. I would like to reflect the actual sender's
address in that string, but keep the list's address as the return path.

I have tried the -r option of mail, but weird things happen. 
I would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks,
Tasos
