Re: [courier-users] From: rewrite

The above is not going to change the From: header. The From: header, and the envelope return path, what gets set by the -f option, are two completely different things. You need to use something along the lines of reformail, to change the From: header. pgp9oE4yBGPk6.pgp Description: PGP signature -- ___ courier-users mailing list courier-users@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
Re: [courier-users] From: rewrite
Thank you for your answer. Actually I am not able to write a courier filter. I've noticed than sendmail -f rewrites the From: header OR Textlocal receives it even if only MAIL FROM: <> contains the specified address. So now you can send me an SMS! s...@szepe.net All the best wishes to you!

I would do that from a .courier or .mailfilter file rather than an alias. I had to do something similar for almost the exact same reason. In my case, I also needed to change the info in the From and To headers before the email would go through. I wrote a small Perl script to modify the message and re-submit it to the server. The user's .mailfilter delivery line looks like this: to "| /home/mailuser/sendtext.pl" There are also a few checks in there to filter out any non-local mail that might find its way to the mailbox. If you don't need to change the existing email headers, you could use your sendmail line from above in place of the perl script. -- Bowie -- ___ courier-users mailing list courier-users@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
