What did I mean by "known to Thunderbird"?? If you go to the top of the window in which you write an email in Thunderbird you will see? From:? and your email address.? If you click on the address Thunderbird will open a drop-down showing all your email addresses.? That is the list I was referring to.? In my case at the bottom of the drop-down is Customise From Address which allows you to write in any address you like.? Whether your ISP will allow you to do it is another matter; btinternet allowed me to.
It looks as though groups.io will accept an email when the from address has been altered;? I don't know how it determines that the message is from a member.
An alternative you might be able to use is to change the Reply-To address.? This is easily done by clicking below where it says To: just below From and choosing Reply-To from the choices.
HTH.

What would be an address "known to Thunderbird"?
I have two accounts configured. Would I then be able to send a message through my Yahoo account simulating the other account that I have? If so, that's nice, but I'll never be able to use the +owner address using this technique unless I make it known to Thunderbird. And how can I make a "virtual address" to be known to Thunderbird? :(

Technically spoofing I know, but I have done what I think you are trying to do in Thunderbird going out through btinternet.com. ?

I can do that myself (spoof an email address) but only with my ISP
email. I tried it with some webmail accounts and it didn't work for
me.?
Apparently, these days it doesn't work for most of the email providers. As far as I could see Yahoo is one of them, but I'm trying to find out if I missed some step before trying it again.Sent from a galaxy far, far away.
