Many perl CGI scripts under Unix use 'sendmail' to generate
email responses. A popular one is FormMail. When these scripts
generate email from CGI the actual username is the httpd user,
usually "nobody" and sendmail reports this on the message
header. This is an example message header,

     ...
     Received: (from [EMAIL PROTECTED])
       by www.mydomain.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id RAA08306;
     Sat, 22 Jul 2000 17:33:26 -0400
     Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 17:33:26 -0400
     Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
     To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
     ...

If the CGI mail is directed to a mailbox on an Imail server
and that mailbox has an autoresponder, the response is sent
to the incorrect address. On the example above, the response
goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
This is using Imail 6.02 .

Is there a way to get the autoresponder to send mail to the
address on the "From:" field ?

Thanks.
