Re: Question: Redirect/Forward

2001-10-29 Thread Roelof Otten

Hallo Miles,

MA What  is  the  difference  between  Redirect and Forward.

Redirect is to send a message to another destination without changing
the body of the e-mail. (Technically this is done by placing the new
address in the To: header. Since you're not supposed to send mail with
a false From: header your mail client has to insert a Sender: header
or as TB does an X-Sender: header. Only visible to those who look at
the RFC-822 headers.) The To: header will change.

Forwarding is to send a message to another destination by including
the message into a new message in which you state something like:
'Look what a great message I got from somebody at sometime'.

MA Have not found any
MA supporting documentation via the Help file on Redirect. What I would like to
MA do  is  when  I get an email from a particular sender, 'bounce' it back with
MA their name as the sender but from me.

MA Is this possible?

Yep, that's what redirecting does. But he won't know it's the message
he sent to you, since he's in the To: header and not you.
Note that the Message-ID wil be changed, the Date will be different
and the X-Sender will be inserted, so if he knows his stuff he'll see
it, but your average spammer won't care.

Hallo Miles,

MA Tried experimenting with the Redirect:

MA Sent email to myself from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MAto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MA When  I  click  on  the  Redirect button, the email comes up with my sending
MA address  ([EMAIL PROTECTED])  in  the  FROM  field with the TO field
MA BLANK.

Well, that's what I said didn't I? The new destination is in the To:
header, so when pressing the redirect button the To: field is empty,
because you haven't told TB who's the new recipient.

Actually I thought you wanted to redirect via a filter and then the
To: field is automatically substituted.

I guess it's kind of early for you, but I'm going to try my bed.
