Hi all. I've recently upgraded from 1.17 and have also upgraded the OS, & have one small issue re. sending of mail from scripts.
Using 1.22 on Debian Testing (Etch). I have a filter (bash script) that replies to senders on some conditions. This script uses the mail utility and includes an extra header for the sender (see below): begin --- mail -s "Spam? / Request for mail access" -a "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" "$fromsender" < /var/MailRoot/filters/htmlreply.msg end --- On the new machine I receive many errors (old one no problems). The errors show the sender of the original message as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which I assume is from the Return-path: header) rather than the sender I have specified in the command. And the bounces I get show that the recipient's server also sees [EMAIL PROTECTED] rather than the address I specify (see below). begin --- [<00>] XMail bounce: [EMAIL PROTECTED];Error=[501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments] [<01>] Error sending message [1136437219344.2899659696.c5.merlin.auston.com] from [sing.auston.com]. ID: <L117A08> Mail From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Rcpt To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Server: <mta-v26.level3.mail.yahoo.com> [64.156.215.18] [<02>] The reason of the delivery failure was: 501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments end --- Any thoughts?
