The -f option is not totally ignored and the code in line 1886 - 1888 is not the problem.
Please call: $ cat email.txt | ssmtp -f [email protected] with an email template not containing a "From" line. Here is the corresponding smtp connection: [<-] 220 mailserver Service ready by David.fx (0355) ESMTP Server (Tobit.Software, Germany) [->] HELO host.domain.tld [<-] 250 mailserver Hello host.domain.tld, Guten Tag!

[<-] 250 Message accepted for delivery [->] QUIT [<-] 221 mailserver Service closing transmission channel You can see, the "From" line in the mail template is replaced correctly, but the "MAIL FROM:" in smtp connection is the old local user. In the code there is this part: 1550 /* Send "MAIL FROM:" line */ 1551 outbytes += smtp_write(sock, "MAIL FROM:<%s>", uad); I think "uad" is not the right variable. Is it possible to use "from" here? I think there has to set an other variable (with the given from address). Thanks Stephan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
