Hi all,

If  log  in as root and  send mail to a remote host using qmail-inject,
the mail I receive is not from root but from my tcropper account.
I been trying to figure this our for hours ... Any help would be
appreciated.

Below are the steps I go through to send the mail

I ssh to the host and the su to root

check my id:  uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)

echo to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

Retrieve mail from hotmail:
   From:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   Date: 4 Jan 2001 05:49:08 -0000

>From qmail-header man page:  If there is no From field, qmail-inject
adds a new From field with the name of the user invoking qmail-inject.

How can this happen when  I was logged in as root when sending to
qmail-inject???

Thanks
-Tim
