Hi list,

I see some problems sending mail between dialup systems (sendmail), my
courier 0.40.2 and other internet systems.

When a dialup system sends in mail via uucp, the headers on thee recipient's
end look like this (x-headers etc. not included here)
-----------headers begin -------------------
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Return-Path: <>
Received: from ods.dokom.net (ods.dokom.net [::ffff:195.253.8.195])
  (IDENT: daemon)
  by jupiter.netgroup.de with esmtp; Fri, 21 Feb 2003 10:15:28 +0100
Received: from uucp (capricomp!kulmseed)
  by ods.dokom.net with uucp; Fri, 21 Feb 2003 10:15:24 +0100
>From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Fri Feb 21 10:15:18 2003
Received: from Terra (terra.netgroup-intern.de [192.168.1.2])

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: test
-----------headers end-------------------

This would be fine with me, but some mailservers quit on the "Received"
header with an "!" in it. One of them is t-online.de, the largest german ISP
:-(. When the same mail is sent to an account there, an extra empty line is
somehow inserted, causing the MTA to think headers end here. The result is
this:

-----------headers begin -------------------
Return-Path: <>
Received: from ods.dokom.net ([195.253.8.195]) by mailin00.aul.t-online.de
        with esmtp id 18m9HB-1jyzkOC; Fri, 21 Feb 2003 10:15:25 +0100
Received: from uucp (capricomp!kulmseed)
  by ods.dokom.net with uucp; Fri, 21 Feb 2003 10:15:24 +0100

-----------headers end and body begins ------------------------------------

Subject: nochn test
----------- blabla until end of mail-------------------

Q: how can i tell courier to write this Received with [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead
of a bang path? Is there a choice like uucp-dom / uucp-uudom with sendmail?
(i don't believe there is)

The courier docs say:
"The address rewriting rules are fixed, but they are expected to work in
nearly every case. If you find yourself in some oddball situation, you'll
just have to invest the time to add custom header rewriting code."

Q: is this an oddball situation? Where and how should i start trying to
rewrite the headers?

Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Dirk
