My mail server, Postfix 2.0.19 snapshot, works the same (called VERP). > Now, **each** time I send a mail I would like to be able to change the > >From field accordingly.

I want to be able to do the same too, but differently. I have a Postfix cleanup header filter (thanks to Ole Tange on the Postfix list) that filters on date: [EMAIL PROTECTED], for example, would allow the address up to 2004-03-07, but be invalid after that date and the filter would return "Invalid recipient address". cron updates the filter every day at midnight, with a perl script. That's more a question of defeating bots than finding exactly where the bots have harvested my address. > In pine, I can set these options: > customized-hdrs=Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > When I compose the mail in pine, the composer looks like: > > PINE 4.58 COMPOSE MESSAGE Folder: INBOX 416 > Messages + > > >From : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc : > Bcc : > Newsgrps: > Fcc : sent-mail > Lcc : > Attchmnt: > Subject : > ----- Message Text ----- > > > Thus, I can easily edit the mail headers. > > How do we do it evolution? Can I easily set the mails headers in > evolution? Lonnie's suggestion works (it works for Mozilla and SquirrelMail too); it's a PITA, because it means updating settings once a day. But it's better than nothing. Also, in your compose "Show" (or whatever that is in English, mine's in Norwegian: "Vis") you can have a "reply-to" field. But you have to fill this in by hand - that's a PITA, too. There's no option for this in Mozilla, though there is in SquirrelMail. > I am sending this email in pine. :-) I would love to be able to do this > in evolution. You can, but it's a workaround. It would be nice if mailers were designed for this possibility. -Tonni -- mail: billy - at - billy.demon.nl http://www.billy.demon.nl _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
