On Thu, 07 Nov 2002 the mental interface of Sandip P Deshmukh told: > hello! > > i do not know if the problem is with exim or mutt. > > here is what happens - when i send mails, in the From: field, it appears to be >coming from > Sandip P Deshmukh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > however, on top in my mutt, there is a line that has From but no colon following it. >there > it says, it is coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > any ideas as to what is wrong? i want it to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] all along I solved that as follows:
In muttrc:
set envelope_from
In exim.conf:
#Main section
# For untrusted users who are using the -f option
untrusted_set_sender = true
This will set 1> to
From [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and
Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In exim.conf [exim 3.3*]
# Rewriting section
*@*escortsmumbai.com "${if eq {${lc:$sender_address_domain}}\
{escortsmumbai\.com}{} fail}\
${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses-escortsmumbai}\
{$value}fail}" s
where /etc/email-addresses-escortsmumbai contains
sandip: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This will set Sender: to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
With similar rewritings it is possible to handle more accounts ;-) Just the set
alternate=.... ones!
