I don’t mind this, but I’m worried about announce. I would like a setting there that says “all replies are moderated” because we would like to NOT moderate some people … and that makes replies our curse. Can we use the reply-to setting in the list? I would like announce to be reply-to: the shambles … is that a suitable alternative?

Houston, I suspect we have a winner.

The message makes it to my gmail account with all headers showing google is happy with the authentication.  The only sender shown, and the only place I can send a reply, is the list itself.  If we turn this setting on for most of our lists, the messages should get to everyone, and:

With lochac-announce, anyone attempting to reply will go to the list and be moderated according to its rules

For pelicans, etc, replies will go the list and thus all members

For group lists, like ynys-fawr, it will be up to the moderators to decide.

It means that you can’t see from the sender details who posted the original message to the list (it doesn’t appear as coming from nico via selenetest, just from selenetest), but that is possibly a good thing.  Provided people sign their messages with their names, which I am pretty sure they generally do, this would work.
