Dear All,

Thanks for the elaborate answer.

Indeed I din’t think about DMARC, SPF & DKIM and it makes sense 
indeed.
This also explains why following a post I get a my mail from the list to 
the list, cc me.

For those intrested

	From: MM_Arc via mailmate <mailmate at lists.freron.com>
	Reply-To: MailMate Users <mailmate at lists.freron.com>
	Cc: MM_Arc <mailmate at arcict.com>
	Sender: "mailmate" <mailmate-bounces at lists.freron.com>

Many thanks for the info

Regards

Marc
