The envelope sender address comes from the MUA and is set in the SMTP transaction. If this isn't happening, I think the proper recourse is to help the user with this mail settings. The second reason I don't like this part of the patch is that it will only work when doing /usr/sbin/sendmail sending, not if MAIL_TRANSPORT is to to smtp, and that creates an inconsistency. _________________________________________________ tmda-workers mailing list ([email protected]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-workers
