I don't think so. The first From line is just picking up the comment from the /etc or NIS passwd map gecos field. The second is missing it for whatever reason... > I also notice the first message has *this* added to it: > >> X-PCBDesignLeader: http://www.zuken.com > > It looks like someone programmed "estzuken" to route via a central smart >host, and someone got cute with the header rewriting rules on said host. I >wonder if they screwed something else up in the process? I'm thinking you might be onto something here. The second From header might have been rewritten to replace (note, using perl-style regexps, since I can't think in 'sendmail'!) .*<\w+\@(\w+\.){0,2}\1> with: <\w+\@(\w+\.){0,2}\1> > Yes, but suppose there is a mis-placed NUL or other control character >buried in the output somewhere?

This shouldn't be the case, though I'm sure it's a possibility. Things I'd check for: 1. What is smtp path from your amanda host to your mail server 2. Can you manually, i.e. outside of amanda, reproduce this problem? 3. What happens if you just have amanda e-mail to the local systems. i.e. don't let mail from your amanda server get delivered to another system, just have it dropped into /var/spool/mail/amanda. What does this mail look like. Do you have the same problems? 4. Can Courier be replaced with sendmail easily and further testing be done to eliminate or isolate the smtp server as the problem? ********************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **********************************************************
