http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1343 Summary: local_from_check influences local and TCP submitted messages Product: Exim Version: 4.72 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: bug Priority: low Component: Documentation AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] CC: [email protected] The spec.txt explains +----------------+---------+-------------+-------------+ |local_from_check|Use: main|Type: boolean|Default: true| +----------------+---------+-------------+-------------+ When a message is submitted locally (that is, not over a TCP/IP connection) by an untrusted user, Exim removes any existing Sender: header line, and checks that the From: header line matches the login of the calling user and the domain specified by qualify_domain. … For messages received over TCP/IP, an ACL can specify "submission mode" to request similar header line checking. See section 46.16, which has more details about Sender: processing. But, if I set "local_from_check = no", even messages submitted via authenticated SMTP do not get the Sender-Header inserted. (But the checks are done, because the return-path and envelope from are set according to the authenticated ID.) I believe, this is a bug in the documentation, or at least it should be clarified, that local_from_check = no suppresses the Sender:-insertion for network submitted messages too. Maybe 46.16 should be reworked too. -- Heiko -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
