"Hidden" user for automated email list

[mboggess]

In order to send email to a list, a user must be a member of the list. We have created a fake user so we can send automated email to a list.

We'd like to have a type of user that doesn't need to be vouched for, is opaque from the list members (i.e., doesn't show up in trust group or mailing list membership lists), so we can send automated email via that user. Another possibility would be that a user such as this could be "hidden" in some way.

A fake user is indeed one way to do this, that as you note, works today.

Alternatively and likely better would be a sender-whitelist.

Added to the todo list.
