Announcement List Security

[hemway]

Greetings All,

My greatest fear happened the other day. An
inadvertant personal message was sent out by a
subscriber to my entire announcement list.
I still am trying to figure out what she did considering
her message doesn't seem to have been coming from the owner admin. address. It certainly wasn't deliberate on her part, but I would like to safeguard myself somewhat in the future. I am using a sendmail script and cron job to execute
the mailing at 4:00 a.m. every morning. Is there any way
I can conceal the from field in the sendmail script?

Thanks and all best,

JAS

Give me a few days to look into a potential solution for this via password embedding...

Pseudo: (me thinking out loud)
)maintain the existing egrep
)add another egrep for password
)From: will be door, with the second egrep piped through sed or awk to remove the key
**perl is overkill for something like this
**I may write a small/fast C program that will be plug'n'play, using {sed||awk} as the POC...

Justin was going to try and solve this via the CNC, but I now see this needs to go deeper...
