Anyway, how about a first patch that refactors and consistently renames
"mail_from" to "envelope_from" (which seems to be the right technical term
for what it is), and then another patch for setting "header_from" (or reuse
mail_from).
After further investigation, I don't think that 'envelope_from' is the
right term. The envelope is something _around_ the message, the
message being the contents _and_ the headers. These headers include
both From: and Sender:
There exist indeed the possibility of having an envelope sender, but
this is not what we're dealing with here.
Ok. Then I guess the code & patch it could use some further
clarification for dummies ;-)
I haven't really digged into this since RFC 821 and 822 still applied,
but I guess it is essential
* that we still have a way to configure what sender is used when
delivering over SMTP (and thus where bounces will go)
* that we don't start setting sender in a way that interferes with the
normal delivery process
* that we don't make our mails more likely to be caught in spam
prevention filters
A first safe step might be just change the "name" part of the from (and
sender?) headers based on who triggered the mail, without changing any
actual addresses.
