I'm on a project which is trying to write what amounts to a Mailing List app in Django, and we're running into a couple of problems/questions.

The code we have so far doesn't set various List headers, and re-sets the To header to be the person we're sending it to, instead of the list address.

Now, we can work our way through all these fiddly little details, but I was wondering if anyone had any code which already did this sort of thing that we could crib from, so that we don't have to go through all the trial-and-error ourselves. Specific sections of RFCs that showed us what we should be sending would also be useful.

Thanks,
Blake.

A: 

Did you take a look at majordomo, or mailman?

I did, but they don't map particularly well to Django's Email/SMTP classes. Was there a particular file in one of those packages that you think might help me? (Since they're both so large, it's hard to know where to get started.)

RFC 2919 has some info and more references on this.

The page itself wasn't too useful (although we did add the List-Id header field), but the references, specifically http://www.nisto.com/listspec/server-author.html were very useful. Thanks!
