I found the code in SMTP.pm where the address is printed to the
log file. Since I needed a quick solution, I simply tested "$from" for the
absence of '@' and, if that's what I found, set it to a "legitimate"
address that I can control will never exist. Then I test for that address
in my module.
I might be better to trace and find out where the value is
actually being changed, but I'm currently too busy.
If anyone has any further info on this, please post it to the
list. I'm removing this address before the spambots pick it up, but I'll
be listening from another address. Thanks.
