About

A mailing list is a list of email address.

Storage

The list is stored as an alias (ie an alias has one or many addresses listed).

How it works?

When an email is sent to the mailing list:

  • the sender is set to the mailing list address
  • the from header (author) of the message may be set:
    • to the mailing list address
    • to a unique address
