Can you possibly set X-Original-From: in the header? Patchwork almost does the right thing with it, though right now it expects that the From: will be set to the list's email address (which is only correct for google groups). We have a workaround for the current situation on patchwork.kernel.org [1], but it requires parsing the body of the message instead of just relying on the headers. > > If that works, it would have an additional benefit of not having to > > add the in-body "From:" to override the mail-header "From:", to avoid > > attributing the authorship to GGG. Using the in-body From: is both good and proper for such service. Trying to put the author's email into the actual From will run afoul of SPF. -K [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/infra/patchwork/procmail.git/tree/git.rc
