Actually, TMDA leaves From: exactly as your mail client set it, unless you've deliberately changed it in your outgoing filter. > If you are using qmail-smtpd OUTGOINGMAIL = "smtp" (which is > recommended for 'security') and you are using rcphosts to disallow > relaying the outgoing confirm reply fails. Cory already gave you a link about relaying. I highly recommend that you completely ignore PORT_NOTES* and visit Life with Qmail. http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html Install daemontools and ucspi-tcp from ports and follow the LWQ instructions. > I did spend some time at it but didn't find a way to set [EMAIL PROTECTED] > in the From header. It's up to the MUA to set the From: header. TMDA can modify or change that base address if told to do so in the outgoing filter, but that is an option and not necessary for regular TMDA use. Especially if your users can't (or won't) edit their own outgoing filters. > Nothing I did to filters/outgoing had any effect at all. Are you sure filters/outgoing is being found?

Do you normally login as root? <shudder> The port creates an empty /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root, which causes qmail to deliver root's mail using the default mechanism given on the qmail-start command line. What that default delivery is depends on which file from /var/qmail/boot you copied to /var/qmail/rc. This is all ugly and nasty and again, I recommend Life With Qmail. > I want to set the header From [EMAIL PROTECTED] where user is the > user who is using TMDA to block mail. Have them set it in their mail client. With an empty outgoing filter, TMDA won't touch it.
