I'm also running into this problem, caff insists on sending email with
MAIL FROM as username@localhost instead of the value I set in
$CONFIG{'email'}. I've tried Todd Lyons' workaround but it still
didn't work for me. So, this makes caff unusable for me. :-(
Which version of libmailtools-perl are you using? Also, caff uses
Mail::Mailer to send messages; by default messages are piped to
‘sendmail -t’, and as written in the manpage, the caffrc option
'mailer-send' allows to choose another sending method such as SMTP/SMTPS
with extra parameters as needed. Did you change the default method
(not-recommended, it's best to fix your MTA instead)?
I believe Todd's workaround only work for Mail::Mailer::smtp and
Mail::Mailer::smtps. However I personally find it cleaner to add an
extra parameter 'From' to set the Envelope From, rather than messing
around with the environment:
$CONFIG{'mailer-send'} = [ 'smtps'
, Server = 'smtp.example.org'
, Auth = [ 'username', 'password' ]
, From = $CONFIG{email}
];
If you prefer to use the sendmail binary via Mail::Mailer::sendmail
instead (and can't fix your MTA), you can set the envelope sender
address with ‘-f’, see sendmail(1):
$CONFIG{'mailer-send'} = [ 'sendmail', '-f', $CONFIG{email}, '-t' ];
A 'qmail' method is also available but I've never used it; I'm sure the
binary provides a way to set the Envelope From, though.
(Note that although the soon to be 1.1.6 release adds support for
Internalized Domain Names, the conversion to Punycode is only done
*after* reading the configuration file, so you'll have to encode
$CONFIG{email} — and other parameters to $CONFIG{'mailer-send'} —
manually in case they contain non ASCII characters.)
I'm tagging this bug as ‘wontfix’ because although I didn't find how to
set the Envelope From for Mail::Mailer methods anywhere but in the
source code [1], I believe one should file a documentation bug against
libmailtools-perl instead.
Cheers,

Description: Digital signature
Bug#592787: caff: $CONFIG{'email'} is not being used for MAIL FROM command
Package: signing-party
Version: 1.1.3-1
Severity: important
I have my e-mail specified in ~/.caffrc. I also use the following mailer
config:
$CONFIG{'mailer-send'} = [ 'smtp', Debug = 5, Server =
'smtp.example.org', Auth = ['m...@example2.org', 'mypassword'] ];
My SMTP server requires myself to authenticate using my email address
and also requires MAIL FROM: command to contain that email address.
The problem is that when I use caff, the email address for MAIL FROM
command is being composed from my username and the local hostname, thus
becoming r...@suga
r in my case, which is of course not what the server expects. Thus, I
effectively cannot send out my signatures at the moment.
Here's the relevant debug output:
[WARN] You have set arguments to pass to Mail::Mailer. Better fix your
MTA. (Also, Mail::Mailer's error reporting is non existant, so it won't
tell you whe
n it doesn't work.)
