About five months ago, I asked how to set-up Eudora-like multiple personalities with Mutt and Exim. I received some good help, but still couldn't get it to work. People explained how to use "my_hdr From:", set use_from, and set envelope_from. I kept trying to get it to work, but nothing seemed to help. I would put it off for weeks, come back to it and try something new, repeat. Last week I finally got it to work and thought I would post it to the list for the archives.
It seems that I had mutt configured right and the trouble was with Exim. In .muttrc, "set envelope_from" uses MTA -f From: Header. Exim will only allow people on a list to use the -f option. I added myself to the list of trusted users and my multiple personalities work. I now set-up some macros to change the from line based on the address I want to use. Now Exim routes my messages to the right smarthost based on the address I want to use. Ryan -- And the sign says "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight" So I jumped the fence and BLAM!
