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.
Which is why I have also included a small but effective patch: simply
quote the argument for SENDMAIL. At least then the pipe won't fail due
to shell errors, allowing users to write custom sendmail wrappers and like.
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 :-).
Try the attached trivial patch.
Ilja, what is your take.

I am using dbmail 1.2 and postfix. Everything is working great.

You just missed the thread I started with this exact same question.
It ended exactly like every other thread in the archives with this
question....no answer. I don't know if this feature is simply broken,
or it is incompatible with the postfix sendmail program.
Nobody answered the question I asked: Has ANYONE gotten this feature
to work with Postfix? Has anyone gotten this feature to work with ANY
MTA?
So, if you get an answer that works, and is done privately (does not
make it to the list), please, PLEASE send it to me as well. By the
way, I will be happy to forward you the thread I spoke about, if you
wish, or you can look in the archives (it was just 3 days ago, so I
don't think it is in the archives, yet).
