Complain to Microsoft? Check for possible upgrades to Outlook that may have fixed the problem. As a last resort, you can put %(confirm_accept_address)s in the From: field of confirm_request.txt instead of %(recipient_address). The address will look a little weird, but the %(FULLNAME)s should still identify you, the requester. > Another thing, closely related...

I want that to be @kelvind.com! Not > @box.somethingshiny.com! Somewhere in your configuration, almost assuredly in Sendmail, mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is being translated to kelvind@box. This happens before delivery, so by the time TMDA sees it, the recipient address (you) is kelvind@box. TMDA builds the confirmation address from that recipient address. When your system sends the confirmation message, Sendmail is most likely noticing that 'box' is unqualified and it appends your configured domain, somethingshiny.com, to the address. You can change your Sendmail configuration (are you using aliases?) or use the CONFIRM_ADDRESS setting in your ~/.tmda/config. > And when I was using the default confirm_request.txt template, the email > address shown in the body of the message would be > kelvind+confirm+1035313845.407.3a6706@box > ...which doesn't quite work.

Because this is in the body of the message, Sendmail doesn't append the qualified domain name, so you end up with just 'box'. The same solutions that fix the problem above will clear this up too. > Oh, and when I used > CONFIRM_ADDRESS = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > this caused problems. I don't remember what the problems were. Dare I just > try it again, now that everything works mostly OK? Try it again. It should work fine. Remember, though, any references to kelvind.com in your incoming filter will never match, because Sendmail has already "translated" that to 'box'. CONFIRM_ADDRESS only works for outgoing confirmation requests and not for anything else.
