This, alas, is not a problem of your configuration or one that you can fix. The problem is that every message that goes through Truman's central mail servers gets its headers re-written if they end in .truman.edu. Anyone with a .truman.edu address that gets this message from tslug will notict that the Reply-to: header is set to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of the correct [EMAIL PROTECTED] Way back in the old days, when we first connected internet-capable personal computers to the fledgling smtp server on campus, this policy made sense. The reason was that those early PCs would send out mail from a fully qualified hostname, e.g., [EMAIL PROTECTED], but had no incoming smtp server that could get a reply. Rewriting the headers to point to a central incoming server that had an alias lookup feature made it possible for replies to go to an address where they could be received. The policy still stands, despite the argument that nowadays many people have boxes capable of running incoming smtp servers and valid reasons for doing so. Your moodle server is a perfect example. -- Jon Beck, PhD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Assoc Professor, Computer Science 2162 Violette Hall Truman State University 660.785.7233 Kirksville, MO 63501 http://vh216202.truman.edu/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -----------------------------------------------------------------
