As old unix "MUA"s have the habit of providing a from line of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and, even with new MUAs, user can't be bothered to configure them correctly, we set up the following environment variables in /etc/profile and such: QMAILHOST QMAILUSER QMAILINJECT=f This usually works nicely for the vintage MUAs, and doesn't do anything bad with sensible MUAs like mutt or Gnus. But: If you are resending a message to someone else with a sensible MUA, it will add Resent-From: etc. headers. Then qmail-inject goes ahead and removes the original From: header (beacuse of QMAILINJECT=f) and looks if it must add a new Resent-From: header (it doesn't need to) and the mail is sent without any From: header at all. So: 1. If you are using a sensible client, be smart enough to unset QMAILINJECT. 2. qmail-inject could be enhanced by making the process of removing and adding headers more symmetrical. 3. It could be termed a bug because qmail-inject shouldn't produce a non-RFC 2?822 message, with no regard to the setting of QMAILINJECT.
