Useful Envelopes
Hello yall, first I have to apologize for my envelope-test mails to this list, trying to get the explanation why mails of this list always went to postmaster (in the end this is me as well). My ISP does delivering of all mails to my domain in one single POP-box which I do poll by the help of fetchmail in multi-drop mode. Nonetheless mailing to this list was quite useful as the humble bashing (or advising ;-)) by a list member brought me to the right insight. When telneting to my POP it showed up that no envelope-information was available, so only the Header-To:-Information was available. Mailing my telneting-results to my ISP he finally had to "confess" that he forgot to restore this information (no blaming, he changed the whole system just two weeks ago and as its an association (club) all work is done there on a base of honour!), which he fixed immediately. Now I got two questions: - Which Envelope-Information do you think to be useful? - May I specify any of this information as well with QMail should I ever try to set up a POP-server of my own? Thanks a lot. Mirko -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] surfto:http://sites.inka.de/picard
Re: Useful Envelopes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- - Which Envelope-Information do you think to be useful? If your provider is using qmail (and from what you said it seems he's not) a "Delivered-To" will be automatically added and with that fetchmail can reliably detect the local recipient. If he's using sendmail, whatever header it adds it will be unreliable: the first time someone sends the same message to more than one local recipient (in the bcc:) you will get just one message (the recipient in the bcc: won't see it). - -- Luca Olivetti | Tarifa Plana ya! http://tarifaplana.home.ml.org/ http://www.luca.ddns.org/ | FAQhttp://www.luca.ddns.org/ptp-faq.html - UNETE A LA ASOCIACION DE INTERNAUTAS: HTTP://WWW.INTERNAUTAS.ORG -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: latin1 iQEVAwUBNpZW4i+cN8LMozC5AQGB5Qf/Q+bmSXkz18HtZawhfmQps/yIO4LUHO9z mg5uyT/ZA0qFPe5Mp/WjFBPLKD/HkHodE9AOMDuW4iLOv7VlzHq0MFuA5VbHgDr2 Ay+gR7nRLxBcWXXNNfWqeAs3YGhD3sYHn7+zJQkKldKTvmQOWp7UdzuqwuWFjppt HLtjjVqdey4vHZUPosxrqyTtgwQunI+FegBN7CQCm1BMS8X48dZ88afqtkJGwexw lPsw+eGI9i0hPcwn/OhGzy7/0KTj7Y9nX3MrpG6L4GjzJ/6wEpVVG1x8/uZVpfMO TgFMrOnnqGc0zLdV/UcZuGQXQVvCvRJjpbZNYo7jD1k33vy0DXT0zg== =kmlZ -END PGP SIGNATURE-
