It works because you have a pre-formated from header "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". But since most mail clients prases this as: "Paul Something" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]" the pipe will fail.
Pipe.c fetches the from header content directly from mime without handling the data and pushes it to sendmail. In those cases (in other words, most cases) the pipe will fail. I posted a more spesific mail previously. I really hope someone could do a better work with a "workaround" or a patch for this. They probably already know, but still..

It work for me. I'm using [SMTP] SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail cat >> testmail << EOF From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: test test EOF echo "insert into auto_replies (user_idnr,reply_body) values (23,'some\nsilly\mtest\n')" | mysql dbmail cat testmail | dbmail-smtp -u testuser Et voila. It works. If it doesn't work its because pipe.c is slightly bogus. The popen call to the SENDMAIL program passes the From or Reply-To values to the program as parameters without proper shell escaping !!! This is an exploit waiting to happen (SECURITY ALERT :-).
