Further investigation has revealed that somewhere in my mail setup I am losing my "From" line. After many hours I am at a loss as to where to look from here. I have a sendmail hub which is accessed by fetchmail to postfix on my workstation and then procmail sorts it for mutt to read. all the setups are as minimal as I can get them. the mail is getting to /var/log/mail/rob but looks like this: Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from vortex.altsim.org by localhost with IMAP (fetchmail-5.3.8) for rob@localhost (single-drop); Tue, 24 Oct 2000 21:22:50 +1100 (EST) Received: from zed3 ([203.37.111.44]) by vortex.altsim.org (8.10.1/8.10.1) with ESMTP id e8OBHuU07545 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sun, 24 Sep 2000 22:17:56 +1100 Received: by zed3 (Postfix, from userid 500) id 6659E14EDF; Tue, 24 Oct 2000 21:22:43 +1100 (EST) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: foo Message-Id: <20001024102243.6659E14EDF@zed3> Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2000 21:22:43 +1100 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bar. The missing "From" line is stuffing up mutt of course. Can you give me any ideas as to which program could be causing this and if possible, a solution?
