Hello List.

What can be the cause of 'senmail -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' not adding the
specified [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the From: header? instead it adds
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maildrop man page say something about the -f option:

      -f address
Sets the FROM variable (message  envelope  sender)  to  address.

"message envelope sender" has nothing to do with the From: header. Two completely different things. This is the return address for the message, which has nothing to do with the From: header. The return address of this message -- for example -- is Sourceforge's mailing list manager, while the From: header carries my address.

Other question. The sendmail man page says:

-N options
Sets delivery status notification options. options is a comma-
separated list of one or more of the following keywords: never,
success, fail, delay. If not specified, the -N option defaults
to either "delay, fail", or just "fail", depending on systemwide
options set by the administrator.

Where to specify the mentioned 'systemwide options set by the
administrator'?

This is a reference to DSNNOTIFY in courierd, which is used for forwarded mail.

The final Bit. Mostly to Sam. Why the index document in courier-mta.org
have two links to the maildropgdbm(5) man page?

Looks like a cut-n-paste error.
