I regularly send out a message to about 500 individuals, using a specific alias, which forwards the email to the 500 contacts in a contact group.

In the past, Fastmail used to have an option that "Also send to all contacts in..." could be restricted to only passing on emails sent from a Fastmail account aliases... The result would be that, only Fastmail accounts could send out to all contacts in the contact group.

This worked great for me for 15 years. Only had one mess-up in 15 years...

Now, that option is gone, and random people are accidentally regularly sending something to the 500 individuals. I need a solution...

Is there a way to do a Sieve Script that will
Allow me to send a message to a specific alias, and will
1. Check if the 'sender' is a specific alias
2. Send a copy of the message to all contacts in a specific contact list
3. reset the "from" and "to" so that the specific alias will be hidden from all recipients (so that they cannot send a message to the group by accident)

Any ideas?
