Does that means one cannot use an external relay to replace the built in SMTP server if we use mailing lists (or the mailbox + forward implementation in Cloudron 10) - given most likely senders and mailing lists members with use random email providers?
Yes, with a typical smart host / relay you cannot keep the original sender on list/forward delivery to Gmail/Posteo/etc.
I want to mention that this is for the forwarding feature. Forwarding requires From address to be preserved. A mailing list behaves differently. It rewrites From/Reply-To etc and makes itself the originator of the email. This feature was never implemented in Cloudron. The forwarding feature was incorrectly labeled as mailing list and this misnaming is fixed in Cloudron 10.
I guess we have to look into Distribution lists/mailing lists for the next releases, if you are interested in this. But the From address will change, not sure if it will work for your use case. It's usually meant for group@example.com or list@example.com style workflows.
