Hi, i'm running the latest exim on a FreeBSD-box for a small number (ca. 5) of domains and users. All users are local system-users.
Recently i tried to subscribe to a mailing-list, which totally went wrong, since the MLM tried to subscribe me with the envelope-from address. So the from-header of the E-Mail stated '$SYSTEMUSER@ $DOMAIN', while the envelope-from stated something like 'prvs$HASH $SYSTEMUSER@$HOST'. As you can see, i'm using BATV, because i've been hit by backscatter in the past very badly. So even if i manage to subscribe somehow to the list, i will never be able to post something to it, because the envelope-from constantly changes due to BATV. First a more general question: how do you handle envelope-from- generation? Do you leave the default or do you rewrite it? If you rewrite it, which address do you use? Second: is it naive, to plain rewrite it to whatever is found in the from-header? At least this would be a very logical approach to the problem. Third: are there any other side-effects, if envelope-from and from- header are not matching? I assume no, because i haven't faced any problems regarding this in the last couple of years. Fourth: is BATV still feasible or should i consider something else?
