This problem has been plaguing me for the longest time and I still
haven't found what the cause of the problem is. Very infrequently, a
user will complain about having somebody else's name/emailaddr in the
FROM: field. In the past, I've gone into the user's .pref file and have
found that there are multiple people listed in their (email_address1,
email_address2, etc). Mind you, we do not allow editing either field
as a regular user.
Lately (I noticed this since upgrading from 1.4.9 to 1.4.10a) - that
problem is no longer apparent. Instead, an even more insidious problem.
Apparently the new problem (though maybe its always done this and I
haven't noticed until now) is that a user's email_address and name will
be overwritten by someone else's information (so instead of there being
an obvious problem (grep email_address2 *.pref), there is still only one
email/name in the .pref file - but with someone else's data).
The two users in question seem to _always_ have something in common -
namely, they have used the same computer (e.g. a brother and sister - or
a boyfriend and girlfriend). This has been the case for pretty much
every problem I've examined in detail so far.
I have seen Patch #1710663 - could this help? Apparently this patch was
rejected as "not the right way to fix" that guy's problem. He was using
the DB backend and it seemed like he was seeing incorrect data in
dbcache and the patch was suggesting that SM should always go to the DB
backend for the correct
Here is what we're running with:
Fedora Core 4
PHP 5.2.1
SM 1.4.10a (.prefs in flat text files - no DB)
Plugins:
1. delete_move_next
2. sent_subfolders
3. squirrelspell
4. newmail
5. filters
6. message_details
7. translate
8. bug_report
9. view_as_html
10. retrieveuserdata v0.9 (pulling from an Open LDAP server)
11. address_add
12. spamcop
13. squirrel_logger
14. quota_usage
Any pointers will be appreciated
