Re: Confirmation message From: header problem

[Jared]

Well, the forwarding server mattered in my case because procmail would 
rewrite the envelope sender to be the user that is forwarding the mail. 
So everything was whitelisted because the envelope sender of all the 
mails was the same, trusted address.

I really don't know if this is related but are you taking care to do 
this:

Beyond that, I'm not sure what the problem could be.

Well, first of all, the server forwarding the mail is qmail, and I'm 
using
dot-qmail files to forward the mail.  But why would the forwarding

forwarded to, and TMDA sends out a confirmation request with the 
domain of
the final destination server - the recipient of the confirmation 
request
gets it (albeit after it's forwarded to him), but it's not the 
forwarding
server that is changing the "from" header for the confirmation request 
is
it?  Isn't it TMDA on the final destination server that is assuming 
that you
want to send out a confirmation request "from" the email address the

ended up at?

How are you forwarding the mail? If you are using procmail, then there
is a way to reset the envelope sender. Check the archives. I have had
this exact issue before. If you're not using procmail, then I'm not
sure how to fix it but I'm sure it's the same problem.

Ok here's my problem.  I have an email server with TMDA installed.  
On
it
are two email addresses both of which have TMDA enabled.  Both are 
also
forwarded from another server.  So what happens is...

There are 2 servers.
originaldomain.com is the destination for all email for these 2 users
forwardeddomain.com is just where that email is forwarded to and 
where
TMDA
is installed

I send [EMAIL PROTECTED] an email from user2, using
forwardeddomain.com as the outgoing SMTP server, but the MUA is
configured
to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the From address.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] gets put on on user2's whitelist because of
the
bare=append TMDA rule.
The email gets forwarded from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (the one TMDA is on)  user1 doesn't
recognize
[EMAIL PROTECTED] in his whitelist, so user1 sends
[EMAIL PROTECTED] a confirmation request.  Up until this 
point,
everything's fine.  However, user1's confirmation request gets sent
with a
From header of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (It doesn't seem to matter
what I
put in the outgoing rules file -- does this apply to confirmation
requests?)
Now, user2 gets a confirmation request from 
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
which
he's never heard of, so he just drops it in the pending queue, and
neither
user ever hears from each other.  How do I change this so user2 gets 
a
confirmation request from [EMAIL PROTECTED], so it gets 
through,
because that address has already been added to user2's whitelist?
