Hello List.
What can be the cause of 'senmail -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' not adding the specified [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the From: header? instead it adds [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Maildrop man page say something about the -f option:
-f address Sets the FROM variable (message envelope sender) to address.
"message envelope sender" has nothing to do with the From: header. Two completely different things. This is the return address for the message, which has nothing to do with the From: header. The return address of this message -- for example -- is Sourceforge's mailing list manager, while the From: header carries my address.
Other question. The sendmail man page says:
-N options
Sets delivery status notification options. options is a comma-
separated list of one or more of the following keywords: never,
success, fail, delay. If not specified, the -N option defaults
to either "delay, fail", or just "fail", depending on systemwide
options set by the administrator.
Where to specify the mentioned 'systemwide options set by the administrator'?
This is a reference to DSNNOTIFY in courierd, which is used for forwarded mail.
The final Bit. Mostly to Sam. Why the index document in courier-mta.org have two links to the maildropgdbm(5) man page?
Looks like a cut-n-paste error.
