sorry the end of the last message got accidentally cut off:
If I use the simple mail program nbsmtp to send mail (this is all it
does, just send mail through a smarthost) it sends correctly. The
headers of a received message look like this (in comparison with above):
=======================================================================

It looks like the issue is the first From: (the envelope From:?). In
the failed message through Exim:
MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (I believe this is the envelope from)
From: Daniel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> message From: which gets ignored
The message through nbsmtp:
>From [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>From djo
From: Daniel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (not sure which From: is which here)
nbsmtp, a much simpler app than Exim, always sends mail correctly
through every mailer when it is provided with the name of the mailer, the
credentials, and the type of auth mechanism to use. Why is Exim more
complex than this?
