Dear List, I have been fiddling with the mail setup on my CPU server.
This machine has to deliver all mail to my ISPs smtp so I set the
rewrite script to rewrite.gateway. The ISPs smtp rejected my mail
though because it expected a From: line different to my [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or the default $fd set in remotemail. I added a
'From: "ckeen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
line to /mail/box/ckeen/headers but this does not seem to have any
effect. I thus added a names.remote file with
'ckeen [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
and changed remotemail with this diff:
14c15,19
< exec /bin/upas/smtp -h $fd $addr $sender $*
---
>
> remotename=`{/bin/upas/aliasmail $sender}
> if ( test -n $remotename ) { sender = $remotename }
>
> exec /bin/upas/smtp -a -h $fd $addr $sender $*
This does the work for me.
Questions:
- shouldn't the headers file work too?
- how is this done right?
Thanks for your opinions,
Christian
